All off subject but around the year 2000, I flew a MD 500, mode C transponder, over the LA class bravo airspace. Listening to ATC there was some discussion about what I was and why I was there, one of the theories floated was is it a weather ballon, or hot air ballon. Come on, I was flying 110 knots indicated.

I'm talking about the aircraft type embedded in the ADS-B transmission itself. It's also possible Stratux has some sort of glitch, but I was looking at the individual data packets and something wasn't right on some. I've heard similar reports from industry insiders - aircraft IDd as AC type "balloon". Go figure. |
