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 it turned off and could not be
turned on.
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. The pilot also suggests you cover your mouths when
cussing at them, since the video systems on these jets are very
high tech.
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.
Thank you for your concern. Semper Fi. |
