Pulled this off my other forum site, funny..
Two California Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding
enforcement on I-15, North of MCAS Miramar. One of the officers was
using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching
near 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 turned off.
Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had
in fact locked onto 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.
Back came a reply in true USMC style:
Thank you for the message, which allows us to 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 onto
your hostile radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal
back to it. Furthermore, an air to ground missile aboard the fully armed
aircraft had also automatically locked onto your equipment. 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
and your hostile radar was destroyed.
