¶Jake’s flying again tonight…same plane, and same route as this afternoon. And I’m watching again.

¶How’s our new empty-nester lifestyle? Well, Renee and I happily stayed up late tonight to track Jake’s second flight to Akron for the day. I put my iPad on the nightstand and split the screen with a flight tracker and the live ATC feed for Akron-Canton airport. Renee heard Jake make radio calls for the first time, which was pretty cool.
¶And we watched the Lions beat the Chiefs, too, which was fantastic!

¶Jake flew from BG to Akron today, which is a couple hours of flying in a Piper! I tracked him most of the way, and even pulled up the Live ATC feed from Akron-Canton Airport when he was in the area. I think I managed to catch his calls, but it was hard to tell (there was a bit of an echo on the line).
¶Aviation tracking is really quite incredible these days. The amount of information available – real time information – is nothing short of incredible.
