Sign of the Times..... Progress??

It is reported that the flight of the replica Wright Flyer, due to hop along the Kill Devil Hills on Dec 17 1903, to recreate the famous event for the centenary, has been banned by the FAA.

This is because:

1. The replica has no two-way radio;
2. It has no transponder;
3. It cannot file a flight plan.

Good grief.
