The cool construction helicopter looks like it is still at the Gary Chicago International Airport!
I hope it is moving things around in Northwest Indiana tomorrow.

Happened to be flying over home for this leg of the trip, so of course I VPN’d in and checked my home ADS-B receiver to see if it was hearing the plane. Nice little loop of ADS-B -> WiFi -> Internet -> Satellite -> WiFi
Watching all the flights over central Kentucky trying to weave between storms... #adsb
Hmmm....looks like three USAF T-6 trainers (Beechcraft props) came up from Huntsville and are circling the Lexington area... #adsb

Here's the Hunter. I caught that too. Blissfully chugging along. Built in 1959, one of the first effective post-WWII jet designs.
Ye olde backyard ADS-B antenna caught the TCAS reaction of Southwest Flight 1496 to avoid a collision with a Hawker Hunter jet today.
"He describes being terrified, people screaming and pandemonium in the cabin."

New aircraft operators seen over central Kentucky, USA in the last week:
EVE (Evelop Airlines SL d/b/a iberojet, Spain)
FJS (Florida Jet Service, USA)
SLH (Silverhawk Aviation, USA)
VCG (Catreus AOC Ltd., UK)
VIV (Viva, Mexico)
The glider's transponder (TRIG TT22) has been successfully tested in the garage. Woo hoo!
After configuring the device, I put it through some initial tests.
Even in the garage the GPS antenna can get a position fix.
Applying higher or lower pressure to the static port on the transponder shows a corresponding change on the displayed altitude.
Applying pitot tube air pressure to the squat switch changes the transponder mode from ground to airborne, which is what we want.
Note: I can't test the radio/antenna/transmission capabilities in the garage. And anyway, I need to get the transponder checked at an avionics shop...they have specialty test equipment.
I think I found Oshkosh.
The glider's flight computer is successfully working in the garage! Woo hoo!
1st photo - XCsoar software has been loaded, showing a map and terrain data for New Mexico. (Airspace boundaries I'll add tomorrow.) No GPS data at the moment.
2nd photo - FLARM powered up, green status light...so it's got a GPS fix. Now to configure the glide computer to receive the FLARM data...GPS position as well as info on nearby aircraft. This is a debugging screen that shows I'm getting a meaningful data stream.
3rd photo - now the map is properly located because we have a GPS fix.
4th photo - Even with antennae casually draped over the fuselage, I'm getting ADS-B data of airliners miles away!
I also tested the three pneumatic inputs to the glide computer: pitot, static, total energy. They all cause the glide computer to respond in the correct manner.
