Quote "Dick would argue why should we lead the world"

If Dick does argue this way, I totally agree, why should we? With an area similar to ours and 240,000+ registered aircraft the US is only now beginning to think it needs ADSB. In Oz we have 12,000 or so registered aircraft, one for every 20 of theirs. We should defer any decision till we have at least 200,000 registered aircraft, OR the price comes down to hand-held GPS levels.

Cheers, RA
