There is much more wrong with the Power Flarm comment.
I have Flarm.
Transponder targets do not provide the information that Flarm targets have.
One has to actually visually search for the transponder target.
At the speeds the F-16 was travelling....Flarm is iffy.
"Under 10,000ft, under 250kts", granted, that's still ~450'/second if you're not moving, even more if you're head on.
I would guess the jet was even slower than 250kts "in the pattern".
While I agree that we should try to learn from this accident, sometimes "crap happens" regardless of how many "roadblocks to crap" we throw up.
