Glider Crash - Minden?

It's really too bad that the FAA is phasing out TIS. I suspect that almost everyone who is buying or upgrading to a glass cockpit or even a Garman 430 / 530 would have taken a really hard look at springing the extra $3-4K for a Mode S transponder to get the traffic info. I have TIS. Yes it is a shame that the FAA is phasing it out and the reaonsing is stupid but intelligence has never been in high supply at the FAA to begin with. If it were we would have been transitioning to ADS-B 20 years ago rather than crap technology like TCAS.
