It feels like ADS-B is almost about ready to get started. We only have one year left before the FAA mandate in 2020 for ADS-B Compliance! Did you know that ADS-B has been an old idea built up of multiple technologies?  Steve Bussolari was one of the original thought leaders and key contributor of building out the  ADS-B system. He has so many stories to share from his time developing this new network while working in the MIT labs.  We take it for granted the amount of weather information, traffic information and resources available in our flying. Imagine in the early 1990's having an LCD screen in a Cessna 172 displaying traffic through an ADS-B device. You look out the window at 12 o'clock and 3 miles there is traffic in the exact spot that is displayed on the screen - you would probably be really excited!  Please share your ideas with the entire SimpleFlight Facebook and Instagram community  @simpleflightradio   Here is to a great start of 2019!!                                 *   *   * Congratulations t
