just one of my pet peeves with our wasteful government when I get lost in watching this damn tracker. using these machines that drink thousands of gallons a flight to spell "4 july" in the sky and generally waste money, that will only MAYBE be seen by either other pilots, or people who watch the flight tracker(s), in the age of flight simulators and high maintenance on the actual planes to keep them up to standard, all while we are dealing with high fuel prices and overall "shortages". some frustrating shit.
