been here awhile
An invitation to lunch at MSL has been graciously extended by fellow RVer Billy Baggett, so N399SB should be launching for the brief flight from DCU about 11:30am CST.
If you haven't had a chance to see an APRS track develop in real time, use this link to watch N399SB drop little red breadcrumbs on the DCU-MSL-DCU flight:

If you are not familiar with Google maps, here are a few pointers:
The map can be panned by holding down the left mouse button and dragging the map. Don't use the mouse wheel unless you want to see the map be rapidly zoomed.
When the cursor is over the map, zoom controls appear in the upper left corner.
You can switch views to satellite or terrain by using the buttons at the top of the map.
The current flight data will appear in the bubble pointing to the latest beacon dot, but you can click on any dot to get data.
On the return flight, if you want to also see the first leg of the flight, you may need to change "Show Last" to "3 hours".
Have a nice flight!
