[Boatanchors] LightSquared

Do you consider a 777 a boatanchor?

It sure as heck is more than heavy enough!

VORs do NOT provide 95% guarantee of less than 1/2 mile deviation over 
the entire flight path.

That is why RNAV *IS* GPS required.

This list is loaded with minds stuck in a vacuum tube.

Do you folks ALL drive a 1960s car?

What is built-in to the new autos?   GPS.
