lol no doubt I like that one.

I think this is an election year for you guys, so have no fear I can't see them shooting anyone down. They wouldn't have to shoot it down. Just fly about 100' under it at, say, 400 knots, hit the burners and head straight up. If the guy doesn't have a heart attack, and if the wake turbulence doesn't turn the 150 into a collection of parts flying a loose formation, I'd bet junior birdman there would be willing to do absolutely anything that fighter pilot wants him to do.

Was a website some years ago by two guys who tried to see how close to Groom Lake they could get in a Cessna without actually violating airspace. Had photos. They were buzzed somewhat as you described. : The other interesting photo was the transponder bulb. It was pegged solid. He claims they were lit up so hard that it damaged the xpdr, but I don't see how that's possible unless the bulb just overheated or something. -c |
