Few wines on board (and maybe you have too), but I cant say I disagree with you.
But bring on ADSB and with the in/out being potentially so affordable we could all benefit. I can assure you that many of us have had a close call at least once, even if we did not know it
. Recently I was almost taken out by a C421 in class G, 3.5 miles from a CTAF 4miles from another, by a IFR talking to BNE coming out of C........and he did not get any traffic info on me (yes my transponder was on and working, I checked with BNE RAD) and had we both had ADSB displays, because we both would, and knowing who it was that nearly ran me down (ATPL big fella) we would have been much more aware and likely to have seen each other.
Now that is a personal close call, but how many others are even more serious?
We have the technology, not implimenting it is negligence by everyone.
Ok.....its bed time now.....nite!
