I am flying to Las Vegas for a kid’s sports trip; on the way, the idea to see what mesh connections that I could make during the flight, and then map them against the flight path, showing how much line of site 34,000’ would provide. On the way out, I flew from BOS -> DFW -> LAS, and had some interesting results. Unfortunately, I did not have the foresight to put up some sort of page to direct people to, so all I have are the adverts stored on device.
The return flight will be overnight LAS -> PHX -> BOS. Because of the hours involved, I fully expect that I will make very few realtime contacts. However, people reading the message the following morning can come here and get some information
If you received my mesh message directing you here, please email me
- Approximate GPS location of where you received the message
- City and state
- Anything cool (or not) that you want to share
If you don’t want to email, you can use any of the methods on my contact me page.
After a couple of days I’ll build a map and overlay the flight path, and we’ll see just how interesting it can be.
