Besides being a bit of a radio geek, I also love aviation and am working on my PPL (private pilot license). I recently discovered this image [above] of the Boeing 787 antenna compliment. It’s amazing to see how many antennas they fit on this heavy bird!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thank you for sharing, Sally! I can assure you, you’re not the only aviation nut here on the SWLing Post<\/em>. I’m guilty as well!<\/p>\n

It is amazing to see just how many various antennas are install on modern commercial aircraft. Looking at this image, you would think it’s a flying antenna farm!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
