Too many planes

[FireInTheWire]

Wife showed me this last night. It blew my mind. Can't believe there isn't more crashes.

Maybe AOC is right... (Sarcasm)

I have their app on my phone, kinda cool to sit on the porch, see a plane overhead and be able to tell the kids where it came from and where it's headed.

I live under DFW. Thank God for Mineral wool insulation! best sound suppression outside of a can.

That is eye opening. Sure makes you appreciate air traffic controllers, especially at the hubs like DFW and Houston.

Goto YT and search "Kennedy Steve" and listen to that guy just moving them on the ground (he's funny too)

I have passed many an hour in my truck listening to him. Amazing.

Will do. Thanks

Those planes are tiny relative to the size of our airspace. Aside from takeoff and landing it’s rare that they will be anywhere near each other, much less close enough to crash.

I was hoping this would be a Want to Sell thread posted in the wrong section.

Scroll in and you'll see there is plenty of separation...

When I said crash... I was thinking more like failure. That's a lot of maintenance.

Hell... me too. I'd enjoy that tall cotton.

Downloaded the app to my phone today and it's awesome. Was in the pool for maybe the last afternoon of the year and could look up and see planes and know where they left from, where they were going, how fast they were going and at what altitude. Pretty cool.....that kind of stuff interests me.

QSL....my kid is fixxin to buy a Stinson

The sad part is we want an AN-2 and we could buy one but both of us together couldnt afford to maintain it!

I flew from Santa Barbara back to DFW last Thursday. I sat on the left side by a window, and saw three planes headed the opposite direction below our altitude, but near enough I could tell the plane type. Then one was headed our direction and was climbing and overtaking us.

I am sure they were within the legally required vertical and horizontal separation distances, but it was very odd to see them that close so far from the airport
