Dervish User ID: 354488 United Arab Emirates 01/22/2008 06:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "Don't mess with me 'cause I'm a Marine! A big bad motherfucker with M- a..a...a F-18!" I like that. Would of liked it better if the Devil Dog kicked it into burner and broke mach over the cruiser. Is it true? Don't know...but, many many moons ago, the USAF wanted to find out why we didn't fair as well as we should in air combat in Vietnam. They started a war game called Red Baron. They had the F-15's go up against F-5's pretending to be Soviet planes. Since we believed the Soviets didn't have too much hi tech, the F-5's RHAW system(radar homing and warning) was deactivated. Well, the F-5s did a very good job of out hunting the higher tech fighters. They sniffed out the F-15's not with a RHAW system, but with a radar detector from Radio Shack. I know enough to know that I know nothing |

Little Star User ID: 273434 United States 01/22/2008 06:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | After the California Highway Patrol incountered this fly over by the F/A -18 Hornet, they went right straight to the auto manintenance department and told the service tech that they had a mess. Apon seeing the patrol car, the service tech went to his supervisor and complained. The supervisor followed the tech back to the patrol car and shown the supervisor the situation. After looking and smelling the mess, the supervisor stated to the tech, " Well that is why they used to call it THE PATTY WAGON". |

Thanks Pac, you made my day! LOL "It is surprising that supposedly intelligent people can make such asinine statements." -Definition of Asinine, www.Dictionary.com It's all a farce; and, the joke is on all of us. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 432703 Japan 05/13/2008 11:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Handheld Radar vs F-18 is a hoax, I dont believe any police would have a hand-held "radar" it is a very obvious OH&S issue, dealing with microwave transmitters. Hand-held Laser guns are optical, and do not using microwave transmissions. Laser guns have to be aimed precisely at the object that you want to check, so it would be very obvious what they would be aiming at, plus it has to travelling towards you, or away to it can measure the doppler effect. Therefore, the plane's radar jammer wont detect or jam a hand-held optical laser. Besides, a newspaper in England ran the same story, just changing the names/places. So, Yes, it is a funny story. |

Russian55 User ID: 568568 United States 12/08/2008 11:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK, if you've seen the photos with the piece, the CHP officer clearly isn't a CHP officer (he is dressed in blue, CHP wears khaki). The Marines do not perform "Low altitude exercises" close to I-15 because of the risks. US Warplanes do not carry LIVE missiles on low altitude (or high) exercises unless in a specific remote area for test purposes. Clearly bullshit. The freeway is at a 90 degree angle to the runway, and the planes DON'T land at 300mph anyway. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 331983IT WAS A LOW FLYING EXCERCISE !!! |

The air story equivalent to the ship's caption refusing to change course coming upon another ship light, feeling that his ship had right-of-way, Captain radioed to the other ship light demanding they change course, eventually being told that the other light is the lighthouse on the rocks at a point on land. |
