    Re: Loran and other alternatives to GPS

    Alan,

    I do not think all our eggs are in one basket.  The Russans have a system and so do the Western Europeans and I think that China has one also.  

    If some rouge nation or group sets off a atomic bomb we ALL have more problems than loss of satilite navigation.  I flew for over 40 years and aircraft always have a backup to GPS.  Radar vectoring, VOR, TACAN, looking out the window ---- Yes, we rely on GPS for a lot of things but is that the real important thing when someone sets off a nuke?

    John H.
