Robert/ Bryan:

I had my cell phon on during this last UFO encounter, but forgot to turn on ADSB logging.

A friend also saw the diamond UFO on his unit.

Seems to be getting more common.

Re: Weird Box Following Me on IFLY

I flew about 3 hours yesterday but did not encounter it. I had ADS-B logging turned on but nothing to report! :-/

Re: Weird Box Following Me on IFLY

Haven't seen the diamond box at my tail end in quite a few flights now. Of course I'm noy flying much since there are no $100 hambergers available until the virus is gone for good.

Hope all my IFLY pilot friends are safe.

Re: Weird Box Following Me on IFLY

I've been on at least five long flights since I turned on ADS-B Logging, and have not seen the weird box/diamond. Maybe the solution to this is to turn on ADS-B Logging?!

Yesterday's flight was very hazy (it was just a few hours before a cold front came through) and calm winds, yet it was still nice to be out flying. Based on my iFlyGPS, there were very few aircraft out flying and most of those were sticking close to the airports. I think for my 1 hour 45 minutes in the air only two aircraft came close enough to even think about.

Re: Weird Box Following Me on IFLY

Robert, I take it you like the Cavalon. Have you ever flown one with floats? I've seen videos of the Calidus on amphibs-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVe_m_zXbDk -- , but I like the Cavalon's side-by-side seating better. (Sorry for intruding on this thread!)
