Not that I care what you believe but the Platypus driver doesn't have any tapes to prove what he said. The AF tapes would suffice. So, given the word of an Air Force Officer and the word of someone I have no idea who he is I'll go with the AF. I don't believe people based on credentials or position; I've learned the hard way that it's very dangerous to do so. I prefer hard evidence, but for some reason the AF isn't willing to provide it. "Trust us" doesn't work with me. |

I can't answer that since I wasn't there, but was simply making the point that the military is usually responsible for separation in a MOA, so FARs regarding spacing, proximity, etc. don't apply. Separation among their own aircraft, _not_ civilian aircraft in the same airspace. It is unlikely that the HUD tapes will ever be released, since they are classified. They can be declassified. But that won't happen if they prove the AF was in error. |

At 600 feet I doubt any reasonable pilot would win a claim of "formation flying". At 600 feet it's really hard to ID an aircraft, at least if you want the tail number. |

Either the pilots were incompetent or there was some other reason why they were behaving incompetently. You don't know **** from shinola about pilot competence or anything else in the real world. Your sim world tunnel vision is blindingly oblivious to the nuances of the real world and your thoughts are as valuable as a legal opinion from Lionel Hutz. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

news ![]() writes: Like you've ever been 600 feet from an aircraft in flight. Not necessary, as the limits are imposed by human physiology. At 600 feet, you can resolve separations of about 1 inch in perfect conditions with perfect vision. That makes it very hard to make out the tail number of an aircraft 600 feet away, especially in less than perfect conditions from a moving aircraft with a moving target. The tail number has to be 12 inches unless its a very old aircraft which hasn't been repainted in many, many years. Wrong again Anthony. You don't know **** from shinola. |
