It’s an AvwebBiz.com newsletter. The area to be affected in the next couple of weeks is in, drumroll please, ALASKA! Alaska, where they reeeally need WAAS GPS.

It isn’t the article about LORAN. I’ll have to keep digging.

And unlike Ron Brown’s mysteriously repositioned beacon, you can’t move the source and cause blacklisted political types to fly into obscured terrain whan they think they are on course and at a safe published altitude.

RIP Ron Brown, Crew, and SOB.
