VFR flight with flight following round robin from Gulfport MS to
Fairhope AL to Philadelphia MS to KMBO with ATC communications



3 hours flight compressed to 10 minutes. Question for any ATC
controllers; Why didn't the type of aircraft and destination follow
on hand offs. Seemed to be a lot of repetitive queries from sector to
sector which made for long read backs due to the round robin..

5 minutes 10 seconds into the video, I had forgotten to turn off my
cell phone and this was the cause of the radio interference.

Neither. Belgium is where she is from.

Jim: Wow, a little off, but North was right! ;-) Good English, but I'll listen
more closely next time to see if I should have guessed something like that.

Jim: I had never heard of radio interference, but only "navigation equipment."

I have always heard cell phone interference in my radios (coms) for
digital cell phones as they "phone in" to their towers. Never my navs
"thus far". While locked into a tower, the phone behaves.

Of course the airlines would like you to believe navs and I hope they
continue to do so as that's just about the last remaining public cell
free zone other then areas outside cell service areas.

If only theaters could convince the public that cell phones could damage
the projector...
