Ads-b: so many planes.

[RobertGary1]

Just built my homemade $100 ads-b receiver. This puts into perspective how many planes are around even on a weeknight.  This is from Wing-X with the $100 Stratux receiver. Surprisingly I got signal on the ground.

Or how 'bout DFW Class Bravo on a Monday mid-morning?

Texas bragging again. Nothing but a bunch of little symbols. At least upside-down Sacramento is clogged with airliners.

Now you know how the controllers feel.

What has surprised me is the number of times I have seen traffic at my altitude or within 500 feet and basically on an intercept course.  Eventually I see them, but ADSB shows them much further out and gives me time to avoid.

Funny how they are all lined up like little lemmings...

I was enroute to Houston and DFW Approach amended my clearance to the VORs to keep me away from all the traffic.

The best part was that as another plane (2001 Baron 58 according to n-number) closed on my tail by 15-20 kts at the same altitude ATC offered them to either slow down, climb 2,000', or descend 2,000'. He chose to descend and still didn't pass me before Houston Approach started vectoring us around the big airport (IAH). I was burning 9.1 gph LOP and he was probably gulping 22+.

Gotta love Mooney efficiency!
