How did people get lost before GPS, Grandpa?

From what I’ve been told, GPS doesn’t work properly even when it’s NOT broken!

they closed their eyes and…

As its Loon, maybe something a little more “chemical”?

A GPS won’t help someone as daffy as Loon.

And then Grandpa would turn left, when Grandma said turn right, because HE knew where they were going, dagnabbit, and…they got lost. Alternately, Grandma would tell Grandpa to turn left, when it should’ve been right, because she really couldn’t read the map, mercy sakes alive, and…they got lost.

GPS = Get a Printed Sheet (of directions).

Some pilots have taken to writing messages on Flightradar24 (.com) by flying patterns which spell out words on their flight track.

You can’t get here from here.

I still can’t understand how those sky-writers did it in days of yore. And they wrote in size-a-billion font, but today they tote a long sigh printed in size 6 font.

I use paper maps.

I have an innate sense of direction!

So Loon is the cause of all those mysterious vapor trails that the tinfoil hat folks are worried about?

Half the fun is getting there. the other half is celebrating that you survived the landing.

One of the few times you will actually see Loon flying. Seems to me that in the early days he would fly upside down.

Should I ask Where the Smoke is Coming From ? ( Beans Beans the Musical Fruit the more you eat the More You Toot ! ) :-)

Maybe he needs skywriting lessons from the Wicked Witch of the West.

The same one that Lyft uses.

Since when do buzzards leave vapor trails?

What is the source of the smoke

You might be a redneck pilot if you think ‘GPS’ stands for ‘Going Perfectly Straight’.
