Hello to all on the PoA Forums.
Today there are about 10x more control towers than when I first started flying...
Highly-controlled airspace is everywhere, and Electronic Flight Bags are all-the-rage, enabled by digital media, bandwidth, (and powered by hopefully non-exploding lithium batteries) eliminating fat, back-breaking chart and manual stuffed flight bags of days gone by...
Hand-held GPS enabled transceivers have eliminated NORDO situations, and the FAA is eliminating hundreds of VOR radio NAVAIDS that cost them ~$110M per year to maintain and operate - fear not GPS will save us all!!!
Ballistic Recovery Systems cover for failed, rivet-less composite airframes and sloppy airmanship - - - today's "air bags of the sky"
... ahhh wonderful technology protects us (hope the DPRK doesn't give us any EMP "presents.")
It's a brave new aviation world... hmmm... all tongue in cheek of course (or maybe not)...
