Default Free sailplane want ads page on Facebook

I flew XC for years before getting a cell phone. When I landed out, I just
knocked on the farmer's door and asked to use the phone. Never had a
problem and the farmer and family usually enjoyed looking at the glider.

I now have a cell phone but it stays turned off unless I want to make a
call. Oh, and it's only a phone - it doesn't do all those other distracting
things that today's youngsters seem to need to stay alive.

There's an entire episode of the TV show, Southpark, which is devoted to
Facebook. I thought it gave an apt description of Facebook addicts.

So Bob, I must ask, do you fly XC without cell phone? If so, whatever will
be your good reasons to never carry a cell phone, I wouldn't blame anyone
who will leave you to hitchhike back from a landout in the middle of
nowhere...

Some technologies, like cell phone and spot are a must in anyone's landout
kit. Flying cross country without them is foolish.
