NetHeads, I flew down to my father's farm today, stopping by Bessemer to pick up my brother along the way. If you visit http://aprs.fi/?call=n56ml and change the SHOW LAST field to 12 HOURS (or whatever it takes to get the round trip) you can get a good idea of what it was like. If you change the Google Maps view to SATELLITE and zoom in on the south end of the trip (in south Alabama) you'll see my father's lakes and the runway we took off on, as well as the "traffic pattern". Click on the red dots for info and note the approach speed...211 mph. If you can't get the "live" site up, check out http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/aprs/LL_lake2.jpg for a snapshot at the end of the trail. Pretty cool stuff, at least from my standpoint! For more details on how this works see http://fly.hiwaay.net/~sbuc/journal/tracker.htm .
