Python rocks (most of the time). :) However you'll need to add GUI library on top of Python since as far as I know it doesn't have a "built in one" like VB, Visual C++, Delphi, etc. Maybe Qt with the Python Qt bindings or something along those lines. The beauty with those professional IDE's

Surely doable, but I hope you develop it w/o tying to the win32 GUI APIs directly, rather using a portability layer, e.g. Qt or smth like that. Also, you might find a lot of what you want already implemented in http://sourceforge.net/projects/fgflightplanner and then just add the missing feature
