I won't call for flight following, and I'll avoid airports with towers. I wonder what it'll be like for ATC if all of the VFR aircraft that currently use flight following become 1200 blips on the radar?

I've never flown an airplane that required a transponder code to take off. Actually, none of the airplanes I've flown even required a transponder to take off! :-) Matt

I haven't read the current proposal, but initially the Reason Foundation's Norm Poole said that GA would be exempt from user fees. Don't be fooled by the old "divide and conquer" strategy.

Let's turn off the altitude reporting part of it... And then go fly around one of the VORs, a reporting point, or something... evil-grin
