Another small point to ponder on... The ag plane in the example above was bombing around with no mode c and no radio. Obviously anti-establishment. what makes you think he's going to fit ADS-B when its force on us? If anything it will just give pilots a false sense of security (much like out our funky new asic cards, thanks again for that). This is just a money making exercise. You guys say hey its subsidised so whats the problem? The problem is it's payed for by tax payers. US!
Oh and makes no more need of Flightwatch staff. more money saved. You sell this like you're giving us all this extra safety for free.
Not Safe. Not Free!
