Hi Gregg, I'm going to disagree about the utility of G* to pilots of small planes. Not disagreeably I hope, I always enjoyed your Q posts and often took reassurance from them. Not that a G* phone would not be useful to a downed pilot, but there have been hand-held radios available for a long time. They are lighter, much cheaper, and useful at times other than emergencies. They only have line of sight, but the contiguous states are pretty well criss-crossed with air ways. I'd rather use the extra weight for other emergency gear. By the way, to whom are you connected if you dial 911 on a G* phone? The emergency services closest to the gateway? I am not suggesting that this is a substantial problem. Another aside, have you seen that there's a company selling cell-phones that may be used legally in the air? For "ordinairy" use in general aviation. Aviation Consumer ran an article on them recently. Not cheap, but less expensive (and less useful) than G*. Ashley
