I don't get the fascination with GA. The last thing I want to do on my days off is get in an airplane. Unless you're talking about a Jug. I love Jugs.

ADS-B is the "internet" of the skies so it kinda makes sense and drones and deconfliction with manned aircraft is driving this...

Basically any place you need a transponder now, you'll need an ADS-B out in 2020. I looked about two years ago on cost, and it was ridiculous, but now it is much more reasonable ($3500 - $7000) and could pretty much be retrofit on any plane with a power source. I haven't installed one yet but will probably do it in a year or two so I can get the full traffic picture. Even the partial one/TIS I get now on the G1000 is pretty helpful for SA.
LOL. different type of flyin'!

It's the polar opposite of our day jobs and much more fun and relaxing!

Easily the most fun I've had in a "plane" in a while.
