Can you fly by the seat of your pants??
Asking for a friend..As a matter of fact yes, yes I can.
Well, with compass, map & some winds aloft info.
This is interesting, thanks. I'm sure there will be some gnashing of teeth over this, besides the AOPA interest. (Great org but civvies need to remember that for the most part they are Secondary users of the GPS system.)


Oh. One more thing, if you would.
If you get word of a flight of TBF Avengers that are overdue, drop us a line here, k?
:D

I'd be more worried about the cloud of fishermen sitting 10-30 miles out in their little boats suddenly not knowing which way is home..
