CD player? What is, the 90s?$81.6 million each? Probably no CD player in the cockpit, or spinning rims.

That there was part of the joke...
But do they have an ILS?????$81.6 million each? Probably no CD player in the cockpit, or spinning rims.
ADS-B?
Haha!
If a stealth pilot draws a body part in the sky, does anyone see it without ADS-B?
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around...
Many T/M/S do not have ADS-B and I’m not sure how long it will be until they get it. Im sure the FAA is aware of that too.
NAVAIR is behind on some T/M/S integration, but not all. I think technically, since the Navy (and Marines) operate under PAO, they're not specifically beholden to having to have ADS-B Out, but obviously NAVAIR is striving to meet the 100% participation requirement. And let's be honest, terminal radars aren't going away.
There's a lot of interest in the UAS world, especially if having it would enable us to fly in the NAS a bit easier than now. But having the ability to turn it off when needed is also necessary.
I'm not smart enough on Mode 5 implementation, but it looks like it may be compatible with at least some ADS-B functionality. Some fleet jets are starting to get the Mode 5 boxes (we have one on det with us here in Nellis), so I imagine it will hit other communities at some point.
