What about Mode S, too??? Perhaps the Great Bustard is a blessing in
disguise - we could argue to EASA that they don't carry Mode S, so why
should we? :-)
On second thoughts, maybe not...

Fred Hi! and Thanks for that!
In the West of England here they have reintroduced the 'Bustard'.... I did
spell it right!
It's a bird that can weigh up to 50 lbs....... and FLIES! It's alleged.
Armour plating may be a safer option in this case!
I see no reason why it shouldn't sport an anti-collision light or strobe!

Gerry
