Airspeed of military planes

Hi there BT.

A couple questions if you'll indulge us.

At 540 kts and 1000AGL, I'd be damn worried about hitting a GA spam
can. I know the training routes are on the charts, but a lot of GA
pilots don't pay attention to those.

I've dodged more than one or two GA aircraft. We really had to be careful
during crop dusting season.. we'd be at 500ft and they would be below us..
the local Crop dusters knew our routes and would post NOTAM equivelant for
us when there would be working in the route structure.

I assume most aircraft have a military version of TCAD/TCAS? Does
this give suficient heads up to keep separation from the slow moving
GA traffic?

NOPE.. none on the military aircraft when I was flying. Some of the
"fighters" may sweep scan from time to time for GA aircraft.. but not
capable to do that in the B1.

It's called See and Be Seen.. proper use of the Mark1 Eyeball and proper
scanning techniques.

Like I said.. I've seen a few.. had to alter course a couple of times.. but
nothing really close. At least the ones I saw.
