Chances are they have no idea what frequency you're on. 121.5 My guess is that an aircraft carrier is considered a towered airport... but how would you know their frequency to make contact? Maybe it's a portable MOA or restricted airspace. I've never seen anything in the FARs. Here's the problem you are looking at from a legal standpoint and wanting to add a legal tag to it. They aren't. They would be looking at you as a threat. Maybe it's "nothing"... after all just a few months ago a pair of Russian TU-95 Bear bombers overflew the USS Nimitz. One of them flew directly over the Nimitz at 2000 feet and no one shot them down. And just how many weapons do you think were tracking that Bear the whole time? |

CARRIER DESTROYS DEADLY CESSNA IN MILITARY-FAMILY CONFLICT Yes, that makes a really good headline. And just how many weapons do you think were tracking that Bear the whole time? Tracking is routine, shooting is not. |

CARRIER DESTROYS DEADLY CESSNA IN MILITARY-FAMILY CONFLICT Babbling, inane nonsense. And just how many weapons do you think were tracking that Bear the whole time? Tracking is routine, shooting is not. How would you have any clue what goes on in the military from down deep in your bunker? You haven't a clue how real military engagements work, or to put it more concisely, you don't know **** from shinola about the military or anything else in the real world. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |

In a long history of ignorant remarks, you've reached a new level when

They may play those games on a simulator, but most military pilots so value the privilege of flying they do their best not to put it at risk by displaying that kind of judgment. You 'know' nothing! |

How does a carrier operate in home waters?
Does it always sail with escort vessels? On the open water, a carrier task force sails with picket vessels operating at a standoff distance to intercept potential threats before they can strike the carrier (in theory). If you are operating over open water, is it not standard procedure to monitor 121.5 MHz? |

Obviously, one military pilot decided to put his privilege at risk. And I suspect the military didn't bother to revoke that privilege, which is why it kept its actions (if any) secret. It wouldn't do to publicly announce that the pilot got off scott-free. No different than a non-pilot continually trolling a pilots NG. |
