COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
You sure? The road seems to be going a completely different direction from the airplane.
ReplyDeleteJoe, true, but "my OTG track follows roads" isn't a very useful acronym. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy old friend Siggi would (also) follow canals, which was OK until we flew over Holland ;-)
ReplyDeleteI was working Departure Control one day, back a few decades when all the new technologies were coming out, and a GA pilot off a satellite field transmitted, "request TLAR direct destination".
ReplyDeleteNot knowing TLAR from LORAN or RNAV, I immediately said "approved". There was a moment of quiet radio and I finally said, "okay I got to ask what's TLAR"
Pilot responsed, "that looks about right". It was awesome.
Joe, that's parallax error.
ReplyDelete(That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)
LOL, done that a few times too... :-)
ReplyDeleteLOLOL. Always been grateful for roads that go where I want to fly to...and water towers with town names on them for back in the pre-GPS days.
ReplyDeleteMany of my students (mostly younger techies) want to know if they can use their Ipads and GPS (I call it going pretty straight) on their cross-countries and checkrides. I tell them no, use a chart and look out the window! Sheeesh.
ReplyDeleteDTWND, that's why this airplane seems like a great idea.
