Stupid question I'll grant you, but can you imagine if you took one of
those radar guns that they sell commercially to clock a kids baseball
pitch, or Uncle Henry's hotrod as he drives by, and "painted" one of these
guys as he flew by?? I'd love to know how fast they are going but you
can bet your but that someone would be waiting for you when you got out of
the field!! Worse yet they'd probably ban everyone from going up there to
take pictures.

Urban legend!

1. Sidewinder is air-to-air, not air-to-ground.

2. Unless the Tornado was emitting within the radar gun's frequency, the
gun would have had insufficient return signal to register.

It is a good story, however.
