AWACoff/EAP
Obviously I didn't make my point too well. I have flown a couple of planes without electrical systems. But the truth is, I agree with you on the transponders. The way it's set up seems pretty reasonable. I just wanted folks to realize that added equipment requirements can have far reaching effects on the little GA people.
As for the guys flying around with bad/no xponder or violating airspace, IMO, they need to be hammered hard if they're jeopardizing safety. No excuse for that.

Man, I'm not that old! ...but I did learn to fly before GPS!
EAP -
you're ever in the Southeast Texas area, contact me and we can go convert some fuel to noise in my -8 (noise is not a problem around here - yet).
>Let's keep the Euro-nazi/trash stuff at bay.
I'm with you on that one. If europe is so good, then why are all their people fighting to get over here and fly?!
