Guys, I flew fighters for 22 years. The only time I turned my transponder off was in Libyia and during Desert Storm. Can’t say about my fellow fighter pilots but it was not the norm to leave mode C off. I think if you are in an area where military or civilian “fast movers” fly, a transponder is a smart move! It will never make up for good look out doctrine. Cheers, Rich Rich, I don't think any fighter pilots would intentionally turn off their transponder. Radar coverage was good in my area to trigger a nearby transponder for PowerFlarm detection. Perhaps, since the fighter was operating in R2505, it was turned off for a special mission. He had just popped out of the restricted area for a downwind and turn to land at China Lake. Walt WX

Walt, when you’re about to bomb someone you turn off the ATC version of the transponder. Any electronic emmisions can help a bad guy shoot you down!!
