ummmm yeah we can say EMI, and nothing will happen to the flight
controls when you jam. What, did VAQ-35 have experimental jammers that
jammed in the 60-400hz range? Remember? Jamming in the bandwidths and
freqs we jam in has nothing to do with onboard avionics and flight
control systems, otherwise every A/C in a current strike package would
be affected? Plus, extensive lab and flight testing is done before we
field a system,,,,,what exactly are you getting at elmshoot? Also,
without going into detail, you are forgetting that there is such a
thing as directional jamming? OBTW, glad you are perpetuating the myth
of Whidbey, I'll continue it,,,THE WEATHER THERE IS NASTY AND IT RAINS
300 DAYS OUT OF THE YEAR!!! So stay away, do your best to NOT get
stationed there!!

The next issue is why keep them at Whidbey (except for airspace and

Ah I remember it well. The VAQ-35 Ops Rod and Gun club. The wind would be
howling snow flurries coming down at an 85 degree angle. These knuckel heads
would show up at work. Get the 75 minutes of work that they would spend all day
doing done in about 60 minutes. And then ask if they could go out and lay in a
freshly harvested corn field and wait for a duck to fly over.....
At least the squadron picknic later that month was interesting when the
bachelors would show up with a meat dish. The Wives Club girls from the big
city would be scarfing down huge quanities of duck or some other animal of the
wild until they learned the truth. I though one or two was going to puke on the
spot.
Back to the subject... What happens to the fly by wire jet when the master bad
is turned on? Can you say EMI?
