USN landing field test flyby in Hyde Co. North Carolina
It's been in the news a bit lately, and they just made a few
flybys of the site using a Hornet : http://www.newsobserver.com/159/story/375989.html Is sending a fast jet on a visual pass through a high birdstrike area all that useful as a survey tool ? Wouldn't an offset pass using a TARPS pod or something similar be a little more safe and provide better data ? ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

USN landing field test flyby in Hyde Co. North Carolina
The locals have been fighting this one tooth and nail for years. Any
reasonable test that simulated the real thing would just generate another round of lawsuits. "John S. Shinal" wrote in message ...

You are using the term "survey" literally, as if this was a geodetic survey of some sort. Instead the goal of these passes was apparently to closely replicate, for the benefit of ground observation and (likely) noise level monitoring instruments, the kind of air patterns that would be flown by USN aircraft if one of these sites were selected for use to replace Fentress. So how would a TARPS pod enter into the equation?

I was only intrigued by the seemingly risky birdstrike situation.

I really hadn't considered the noise factor for that flyby other than how the birds might react (sudden flock getting airborne, etc). The flightpath planning aspect is a good point, and thanks. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
