Houman Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 Yeah I was reading that yesterday, it seemd odd, are they testing some new stealth aircraft ??? if so, why not do it in the military desert area ??? Quote
1964-M20E Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 I'm flying along the gulf coast area Friday. I'll let you know what I see or don't see Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 Desert areas! What do you have against us out here? No you keep it back east! Quote
Jeff_S Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 Good thing I haven't invested in ADS-B traffic yet! I'll just struggle along with my TIS in terminal areas. Quote
Houman Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 Desert areas! What do you have against us out here? No you keep it back east! Well you fly trough area 51 often ??? Quote
ryoder Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 You mean we have to look out the window? Quote
mike_elliott Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 AOPA is all over this. as they should be..Good. Quote
GeorgePerry Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 Check out AOPA live tomorrow when it airs and watch was the FAA does in the next few days. You'll see some movement on this. Quote
ryoder Posted September 2, 2015 Report Posted September 2, 2015 I'll be looking forward to it. Why the mandate again? I'm spending my money on AvGas and engine rebuilds. You'll see my flying mode C in 2021 for sure. 1 Quote
cliffy Posted September 3, 2015 Report Posted September 3, 2015 What's going to happen when we change over to ADSB? No more military testing? :-) Quote
1964-M20E Posted September 4, 2015 Report Posted September 4, 2015 Well flew through the aera about 0900 today. Not sure if anything was out but adsb in worked but I don't have out. Couple of F-35s playing in Pensacola area I was surprised they left me at 110 feet Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 Well you fly trough area 51 often ??? Actually, I flew right by it today. KCHD to KLMT. Stopped at KTPH for fuel. The restricted airspace is a real PITA. Quote
M016576 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 Actually, I flew right by it today. KCHD to KLMT. Stopped at KTPH for fuel. The restricted airspace is a real PITA. I'm based out of KLMT- what brings you to town? Quote
N201MKTurbo Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 I'm based out of KLMT- what brings you to town? visiting the mother in law. Lives in Bear Valley out by Worden. Quote
M016576 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 visiting the mother in law. Lives in Bear Valley out by Worden. Nice looking mooney! Saw yours out on the ramp on Saturday as I was getting ready to go. Mine's the missile in the big hangar if you're interested in taking a look. Quote
GeorgePerry Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 AOPA is all over this. Chaulk one up for AOPA! http://www.aopa.org/News-and-Video/All-News/2015/September/09/FAA-rescinds-notam-after-AOPA-concerns 1 Quote
1964-M20E Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 George Thanks a more surgical approach than just a shotgun blast to cover there rear ends. Quote

Mine's the missile in the big hangar if you're interested in taking a look. Sorry I didn't get to meet up. The mom in law had a huge honey do list. The only time I came into town was to go to Grovers or the big R farm store. Quote
Jeff_S Posted September 11, 2015 Report Posted September 11, 2015 Thank You AOPA. I hate to say it in such a straightforward manner, but having been military and civilian both I have seen seen it for decades now: Some people don't have the right type of Character to correctly administer power and authority entrusted to them. Non-elected officials like government beaucrats can be the worst. Power-drunk, thoughtless of others, and not soliciting input from others outside their own office to make good decisions - are traits which develop when power and authority is given to a person with the wrong character or inadequate experience. ADS-B is one example, the program, the mandate ... Just like government beaucrats to issue a mandate costing aircraft owners thousands of dollars ... and not even blink an eye. Heck, those SOBs don't have to pay for it, and they have no problem whatsoever placing that burden on our backs. And think WE PAY THEIR SALARIES! Certain military peers of mine, became hated by their units once they were given a command. "Little Hilters" they were called. Even some sergeants could be like that. In the civilian world, I have found airline management to be perhaps the lowest, lacking ethics, eager to dictate policy from their comfortable Monday- Friday office job in HQ, totally disconnected and insensitive to the people who are out there really doing the job, working nights, weekends and holidays in bad weather and sometimes getting minimal rest. We have to continue to monitor the FAA, CBP (IRS) and these other agencies, because they get, "full of themselves," and can get out of control pretty quick. They need to be brought back to the real world on a regular basis! Geez, Dave, I wish you wouldn't sugar coat things. Tell us how you really feel! Quote
