*ONE* of you, or the other, really need to consider changing your ID, and/or
sig line. Like going with Richard R, or Richard L, or whatever.

All of the "Richard's" in the "from" line and sig lines are really getting
confusing, and are totally overwhelming me! g

That's a straight line that cries out for a punchline I am far too much
of a lady* to commit.












*as in: As the smoke cleared, someone said, "Whoa, that lady's crazy!"

But it's so tempting, isn't it?

Great to know those things are being used in civilian airspace.

I remember reading about one of the Global Hawk flights when they lost the datalink. The bird was headed out towards
Barstow or Bakersfield, and all they could see was the TV picture coming back. They pressed the shut down button (self
destruct, pop a chute or whatever it does) and it did not respond. Finally they were able to get some yaw control or
similar and they were able to spiral it down and in before it got over a congested area.

Define "civilian airspace" ?
I heard of danger zones, restricted zones, and what not,
but never of "civilian" or "military" airspace

Jeezz, why do people have to pick nits about anything and everything.

You knew EXACTLY what the point was, that was being made. Let it go at
that, for once.

That was not my intention.
Was rather wondering whether this is one more thing
done differently over in them US of A.

Is that a question [?] or are you making a statement?

It was just floating there in front of me. What could I do? :-)

"So far as the various air forces were concerned, bringing down an
observation balloon was regarded as a valid victory and were added to each
pilot's list of 'kills' in the same manner as enemy aircraft." g

OK, in the spirit of the apology...

The statement was just a general statement, concerning the fact that such a
thing is out there flying with you and me, and could be anywhere, instead of
being neatly tucked away from us civilians.

It was originally supposed to be flying in an area, with an altitude
associated with the notam. Instead, it comes spiraling down though
altitudes that it was not supposed to be in. Fun, fun.

Everyone better be watching out for them, 'cause they are not watching out
for you!

Global Hawk - and only Global Hawk - has a blanket authorization to fly
in the national airspace. They figure they're launching in a
restricted area and climbing to 60,000 feet, and there's not much
civilian traffic up there
