Narrative:
Very simply; the first officer received a departure clearance for the reno 3 departure and loaded the mustang 6 departure in the FMS. During the taxi check I asked him to brief the departure. I believe he stated that we had the reno 3; but he read the departure from the mustang departure. I've asked myself how this could happen and how I missed it. The things that I feel contributed to us flying the wrong departure were: 1) we were on day 7 of a busy 8 day tour. We were also on the 5TH leg of a very busy day with short turns. Our day had started early and combined with our cumulative fatigue; we were very tired. 2) the electronic charts we use are a continuing source of frustration to me. We now have a mounting bracket on the copilot's side; which puts the unit directly in the sun. The pilot in the right seat has trouble reading it and the pilot in the left can't see it at all. Had I had a chart that I could see; I may have caught this mistake.

Title: BE40 FLIES MUSTANG VICE RENO SID AS CLRED FROM RNO. CITE DIFFICULTIES ASSOCIATED WITH ELECTRONIC FLT BAG.
Narrative: VERY SIMPLY; THE FO RECEIVED A DEP CLRNC FOR THE RENO 3 DEP AND LOADED THE MUSTANG 6 DEP IN THE FMS. DURING THE TAXI CHK I ASKED HIM TO BRIEF THE DEP. I BELIEVE HE STATED THAT WE HAD THE RENO 3; BUT HE READ THE DEP FROM THE MUSTANG DEP. I'VE ASKED MYSELF HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN AND HOW I MISSED IT. THE THINGS THAT I FEEL CONTRIBUTED TO US FLYING THE WRONG DEP WERE: 1) WE WERE ON DAY 7 OF A BUSY 8 DAY TOUR. WE WERE ALSO ON THE 5TH LEG OF A VERY BUSY DAY WITH SHORT TURNS. OUR DAY HAD STARTED EARLY AND COMBINED WITH OUR CUMULATIVE FATIGUE; WE WERE VERY TIRED. 2) THE ELECTRONIC CHARTS WE USE ARE A CONTINUING SOURCE OF FRUSTRATION TO ME. WE NOW HAVE A MOUNTING BRACKET ON THE COPLT'S SIDE; WHICH PUTS THE UNIT DIRECTLY IN THE SUN. THE PLT IN THE R SEAT HAS TROUBLE READING IT AND THE PLT IN THE L CAN'T SEE IT AT ALL. HAD I HAD A CHART THAT I COULD SEE; I MAY HAVE CAUGHT THIS MISTAKE.
