Hi Gord !

As I've often said, a transponder will be the LAST thing I
buy for my airplane ! (Much rather have a good GPS so <I> know
where I am - instead of a transponder, so <THEY> know where I am !)

We have managed to Ramble all these years without one, and expect
to continue. You DO need an exemption letter from the FAA - usually
because of insufficient (or none) electrical system. We usually
have ONE Rambler with a transponder, in which case we file as
a "flight of 12", or whatever, on ONE xponder code, & one flight
plan. We've also found at least 5 places where you can cross
without a flight plan ... because you don't FLY, you ROLL,
because the runways cross the border ! :-)

As Wayne says, we will ALL need passports !! :-(

One of the ideas of the Ramble was to show that it's still
possible to cross the country in something like a J-3 Cub,
like the old barnstormers, with just a clean windshield and
an Esso road map. (We HAVE had Ramblers use CAA TripTicks !)
We emphasize pilotage, rather than autopilots ! Not that
a nice AvMap colour moving map GPS is a bad thing !! ;-)

Have heard rumours of Owner Maintained class going to
Amateur Built - would be sensible, so may not happen ! ;-)

Hi Bob:

Will transponders be mandatory ??????????/

It's getting more difficult crossing the US border.
