Oh, great, now we'll have all those bugsmasher pilots talking on their
cells while flying VFR - forget about visual lookout anymore!

Newsflash! The bug smashers are already doing it, and visual lookout is
surely suffering in a few cases. It's not clear that most of these pilots
were doing a lot of looking out before they turned on their cell phones,
however, so safety may not be affected much!

I got Sporty's DVD on VFR commuication. It is a real world video of three
pilots communicating while flying VFR. Their VFR scan was to glance up
quickly perhaps once or twice...pretty scary.
