===================================
Two California Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding
enforcement on I-15, just north of the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar .

One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the crest of a hill.

The officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300 miles per hour. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not reset and then
turned off.


Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet which was engaged in a low flying exercise near the location.Back at the CHP Headquarters the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the USMC Base Commander.

The reply came back in true USMC style:

~ ~ ~

Thank you for your letter. We can now complete the file on this incident. You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had detected the presence of, and subsequently locked on to your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it, which is why it shut down. Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground
missile aboard the fully armed aircraft had also automatically locked on to your equipment location.

Fortunately, the Marine Pilot flying the Hornet recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded to the missile system alert status and was able to override the automated defense system before the missile was launched to destroy the hostile radar position.drinker
The pilot also suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them,laugh
since the video systems on these jets are very high tech.smokin

Sergeant Johnson, the officer holding the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his left rear molar. It appears the filling is loose. Also, the snap is broken on his holster. laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh

Thank you for your concern.flowerforyou

As a recent retiree from the Air Force with combat experience. Having worked in Electronic Warfare. It is possible that the CHPs radar picked up a low fly F18 Hornet. And from my experience this story is not beyond the realm of possibility. OUR SMOKIN MILITARY DOES ROCK AND SACRIFICE THEIR FREEDOM FOR YOURS.
