I suscribe to a flight tracking program .At 11am New York time there were 230 tracks showing (the area covered is USA Canada parts of the Pacific, Atlantic routes west of 50 degrees and the Caribbean). Just 17 were within USA boundaries. At that time of day there are usually 4500 to 5000 tracks showwing........the SCATANA plan certainly worked.

Sorry for your troubles in the USA.....you are not alone in your grief.
