I was on an IFR flight Jan 13th from Kentucky (IOB) to Missouri (CGI) when around 1325 local the Flightaware flight path appears to deviate north and south by 90 degrees. (see below) Several friends called that evening to ask if I decided to deviate and following a river 🙂 Any explanations for the track variance?
