With the way some folks are pushing GPS you'd get the impression
pilots were wandering aimlessly all over the place before GPS
was even available.
Lack of GPS is not the problem.
Having the ADIZ is the problem.
This is not a constructive attitude, IMHO. Railing against the darkness
helps not...
The Washington, D.C. ADIZ is there, and not moving any time soon. We, as
pilots, had better learn to live with it, and properly navigate through
it -- it's NOT difficult -- or our concept of Free Flight in America will be
jeopardized.
You can pick up a good used GPS for the cost of a SINGLE tank of gas in my
Pathfinder. To use "cost" as an excuse not to use it is goofy.
