How are airport delays? Am at work so don't have my usual links.My corporate company Microsoft PC did not do scheduled 365 update so all is well.They must have postponed it..I always wait a couple days anyway..
Airlnav shows crowded skies over the US

I heard about the airport and 911 issues. I thought the outage was huge when a minute or two later I walked in my office and saw ADS-B. Then I remembered I had it set to military-only
