You don’t like the V? C’mon, I know you like the V.....
You DO like the V, doncha?
Golly...looking at all these airplanes makes me want to fly something other than my slow Cherokee![]()
Two guys of which I owe a beer. Spike because he sent me a part for my airplane and Briany because he came up with that cool website that prints out all the stuff I need to fly.
I'd say we were ~4 miles apart for most of an hour and 20% of the flight, there was no sign of him on either of my TVs.
Not sold out so over the air broadcast was canceledSpike and I also learned that TCAS and ADS B are only so reliable.
"Spike! Where are ya buddy? ya disappeared from both my traffic systems"
"Bryan, I can't see you anymore either"

It was mildly entertaining getting home today, turned out very well. I was following BrYan pretty much in-trail (I think I could smell him). Good company, those two young'uns are.

I don't know what the heck I have. It was a shot in the dark. What I have is this screen and I got no clue what technology makes it work.Wait. A Bo was BEHIND the Grumman?! Oh yeah Bryan-y flew the traveling airplane. Ha.
Y’all don’t believe me when I say the engineering of ADS-B is total crap for a supposed “safety” system.
And you don’t have TCAS. Neither one of you do. That’s a very specific system that almost nobody in piston GA purchases.

TAS maybe? Some seris of letters I'm sure
You be havin' TIS-B most likely. I think some Cirri have a TCAS system since it only adds about 10 AMU to the price tag. What's an added 1%?I don't know what the heck I have. It was a shot in the dark. What I have is this screen and I got no clue what technology makes it work.

I think he is a cord cutter. That would explain the loss of some services in his airplane.Did you pay the cable bill?
Or they aren't serious enough and can't drink the beer before it gets warm.I can always tell a serious drinker when they have a beer cozzie (sp?)

If it will make you feel better, I'll race you with the J3.
On a good day, I can beat pedestrians.
