having
guys tell you the weather over the phone is simply another job that
technology has made obsolete.
So while at a remote rural airport, how do you learn of TFRs without
Flight Service Stations?
I actually still use my cell phone to call FSS before each flight,
solely to check for TFRs. This is probably silly, since TFRs are
shown on the 496 screen -- but in Iowa during an election season, I do
it solely for "CYA" purposes...
The old "belt & suspenders" approach is best, when it comes to
F-16s...
