On: US FAA says it will phase out floppy disks from air traffic control by 2028

There's flash, and then there's flash.

Say, the Siemens PLCs I earn my living programming uses SD cards which range from 64kB to, uh, 128MB, methinks.

They still work after decades, so clearly, you can get long term reliable flash storage; just don't expect to be able to store your 4k holiday videos on them.

NOTAMs, on the other hand? Go ahead!

SanDisk's Extreme Pro range will disagree with you on that front. I have never seen a worn out card out of that range.
