FAA Tells Pilots To Go Analogue As GNSS ‘Spoofing’ Incidents Increase

I actually learned how to navigate with a sextant back in the mid-60s when I was in the Civil Air Patrol. We spent a bunch of time flying around in USAF cargo planes and I would bring my sextant and they would let me navigate. Had a sailboat in the late 80s, and used it then, (mostly to show off). Alas, it hasn't been out of the case since. Maybe it's time to brush off the cobwebs.

I learned how to navigate using the hands on my watch during SERE. It's kinda the same.

And that would be a nearly impossible feat, given the US’s airtight border.

(Most of the necessary equipment can be bought inside the borders; don’t have to smuggle much.)

Do you have beachfront property in AZ for sale, too?
