I find it fascinating, and scary - that so much information on individual a/c (speed, altitude, location, ID, etc.) is available to anyone. Seems if a bad actor wants to track a plane for nefarious purposes, there might be a problem ...

On a different tack, with so many fires in New Mexico, how are you and your family holding up?

I've had that thought myself.

Fires here are an hour and a half north and south of us (so far), so we ar in no immediate danger. However, the smoke in the air is pretty heavy all over the state which makes for very stuffy noses and burning and itchy eyes.
