Like others, a fabulous day almost like normal.
Around the picnic tables at several airfields there was definitely a common thread......
Lots of playing with new EC toys, some impressed, others not! Vintage a/c where they always look out trying desperately to see traffic that SE told them was coming in from right. Frightened rigid by a/c from left that wasn’t shown that nearly hit them as they were staring to the right. Without SE preoccupying them they would have seen it. Others saying “this is great! I now know where every a/c is and I can concentrate on my gps!” AARrrggghhh!
Other eavesdropping revealed how many are electing to not switch on any txpndr or EC device due to the CAA heavy handed “guilty unless you can prove otherwise policy”.
All I can hear in my head is that song “the lunatics have taken over the asylum”!
Where is this all going???
