    For about two years FR24 has been giving away $1000 transponders to anyone near an airport

...aaand I've applied. My parents live almost next to a military airport. The data alone would be worth the trouble but it also sounds like a cool thing to have.

Good luck! I was bummin' when they turned me down and although I'm close enough to Paine Field now that this guy is louder than the TV sometimes, I didn't run enough cable under the house to put an antenna up on the mast so I haven't quite hooked up my ADS-B world yet. I don't know what other airports B&K does this for, but the LAX one was relevant to my interests.
