For this you are proud? Wow baby! I've flown a lot of radioless

at all times.

WTF is a JRC?

Its an inexpensive hand-held radio. One I've used in the Champ, Chief,
and J-3. Its hard to understand why anyone would fly around in a non-
radio airplane w/o putting out a few bucks for a radio.


And why would i need one.

Because safe pilots believe that having a radio increases safety.

And who said I was proud of it. BTW?

I merely stated a fact.

I asked. Notice the question mark. That indicates a question in
English.

Because they didn't exist when I did it?

Are you asking me? I wasn't around during the days of the Wright
brothers how would I know?
My assumption is that the OP is not asking if it was safe to fly
without radios in 1910, I believe he was asking about today.

So what?


It's stil safe to fly without radios.

Millions of flights are made every year without them.
In fact, the field I mentioned is extremely busy to this day and still
most ops ae no -rad. the office doesn't have even hace a fixed set. They
did for a while in the .70,s, but they threw it out.


BTW this is no cowboy airport... In my day two chief pilots for Pan Am
operaed out of it as did several of the most famous airshow and
competiton aerobatic and glider pilots in the country...


I'm not anti radio, BTW, I used one several times tonight...

I jsut think people are overly reliant on ground services. ATC is a tool
for pilots to use, not their masters.
