GPS and flying

I will be flying to MN in 10 days, and then driving south to TX and Arkansas. Wonder if I can use the GPS on the plane, after the new rules are in!

If you do use it, make sure to have a window seat. I used mine once and had a hard time keeping a signal even with the GPS next to the window.

You can tell the states need money.Coming down I95 police where every where.Seen as many as 3 cars pulled at one time.Never have seen that many police before pulling over so many vehicles.Usually have to wait to get to Emporia in VA to see any police.So be warned you better stay close to the speed limit.

We flew Continental this month and GPS was allowed. A young girl seated next to us asked "I wonder where we are?" I handed her my 60csx and suggested she point the antenna towards the window. A few minutes later we found we were over NM.

Kind of late checking in this week. I'm sure glad it's Friday.

TGIF

This week was a long one, what with that snow mid-week. That should be the last of it for 2009-2010.

Glad it's over.

I need something fixed

Had a quad by pass back in 1984, doing well so far. Just take it easy. I had a brand new truck and could not drive it. could not turn the steering whell. I had no upper body strength. wife did all the driving. Just don't push it trying to do what you used to do. Let time heal evrything and follow the doctors order. good luck.
