How's our friends near Gatwick going to accept NVG's for night flight in the UK? The FAA fought it for a while, the Aussie CAA fight it still...the NZ CAA folks embraced it.

Will it be treated like GPS....just another Spam DOD thing and thus similar to shaking hands with a Leper or will lightning strike and the techology be embraced to enhance safety. Maybe the HEMES outfits in the UK could then start flying at night and saving more lives rather than only working daylight hours only?
