I am curious if the spot adoption has increased after the incident at Mifflin.
Especially flying in the great basin, where you may never be found if you go down (remember Steve Fossett?) I expect no less than 100% of pilots to carry spot. if not, perhaps we need a similar program to the powerflarm rental program, and rent spots to those who do not want to spend $150...
