Young drivers everywhere are suddenly completely lost, since they don't learn how to get around with gps these days.

I haven’t had a problem with the GPS in my airplane, but thought I would put it out there just so people might know why if they had an issue.
According to everything I’ve read, it shouldn’t affect anything below 50 feet.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

I think it's a great idea, assuming its purpose is to make sure our military can get by without electronic navigation. I'm reminded of the scene in the first Avengers movie where Fury tells the bridge officer to point the helicarrier south after an attack. The officer says it'll be a while before the nav systems are back online. Fury: "Is the Sun coming up?"
Bridge officer: "Yessir."
Fury: "Then put it on the LEFT!!!"
SALUTE TO ALL!

GPS jamming happens from time to time in the very north-eastern part of Norway. It seems to coincide with Russian Navy exercises out of Murmansk.. It affects a couple of the airports we fly to.
In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!
