bucks and lasts 5 years. it also depends on what freq. you want to opperate
on. on my 2 ways channel 9 through 14 are non lic. and channel 9 is for non
official emergency. 1-8 14-22 each with 32 sub channels is what you need the
lic. for and thats just FRS with a 6 mile range

Next time you buy a sectional (map for you nonpilots) I suggest you give
it a closer glance. The last one I bought was Montana and there is a lot
of airspace with a 10,000 minimum altitude. Guess they don't want people
disturbing the animals. :) Then there is military space. Some of those can
get you an escort. So the West isn't all that open.
As for unlicenced radio I suggest you talk to your local FCC agent before
you get part of your anatomy in the wringer. Anything over 100mW HAS to
have a licenced operator to be legal. I don't know the full terms of CB or
FRS but I bet a permit is involved there too.
Barnstorming was buzzing barns and pulling up to clear phone lines. 1500
feet above a barn is hardly a buzz.
BTW I am a licensed pilot as well.

Hello Kirk,
Airspace is controlled.
As a pilot I can tell you that although most of the US east of the
Mississippi River is Class E and above (controlled) airspace it
is a reverse proportion west of the Mississippi River. Where most of the
airspace is Class G or uncontrolled.
The barnstorming open air biplane days are gone
Not so again Kirk. I can perform aerobatic maneuvers between 1500' AGL in
class G (uncontrolled) and class E (controlled airspace up
to 14,499' MSL.
just like radio emissions without a license.
Not so again Kirk. I can fly anywhere in the US without a radio license. I
don't even have to have a radio in the plan to fly in
Class G and Class E airspace.
There are places where the winds blow almost always, such as the
continental divide in central Wyoming. They are even
windier at altitude. The gyro field could be marked with strobes and a
beacon. Also the gyros would probably not be at
jetliner altitude and even if they were they could be no-fly zones just
like a lot of areas already are.
Kirk
With the advent of the new pilot classification "Sport Pilot" where you
not even required to pass a medical exam it is anticipated
that the skies above will be much more active with these new pilots.
Creating more restricted airspace will face a great battle from
the aviation lobbyist who do posses a great deal of influence with the US
Government. However, in the areas that maintain constant
high winds are of little to no interest to most pilots and would present
some opportunities for such restricted airspace without
much protest from the lobbyist.
Best Wishes,
Tim
