DoD Radar Data Collection Effort Planned for Washington D.C.


Washington, D.C. - The Department of Defense will conduct a series of radar data collection flights over the National Capital Region during the week of 12-16 July in coordination with the Federal Aviation Administration.



The flights will involve low flying aircraft, a Cessna 206 and a Twin Otter airplane flying along the Potomac River, and the greater Washington D.C. metro area. The purpose of these flights is to obtain radar data from a variety of aircraft in and around the National Capital Region.



Citizens throughout the region may hear aircraft noise at various times and see these aircraft as they fly routes similar to normal Washington D.C. air traffic. The impact of these flights will be relatively minor to commercial aircraft, and all flights will be conducted in accordance with FAA and NORAD standards.



All interagency offices have been notified of these flights and to the maximum extent coordination procedures have been completed.



For further information related to this release, please contact the Office of Secretary of Defense Public Affairs office at (703) 697-5131.

It appears that the thread came under direct attack. I wonder if it's a troll or an OBLCrew type.

Thanks for the information jerseygirl! It's good to know about this before hand so I don't jump out of my skin thinking it's an attack. Once again, the lamestream media will be the last to know (or at least tell).

Heard on KFI this morning that Bill Handel will be interviewing Paul Williams tomorrow morning. If someone missed his name, Paul is the one that believes Al Q has over 20 nukes already in the US. He usually does interviews after 7am.

Maybe I'm plain ignorant or have a pile of tinfoil hats on . . .

but,

I don't believe it's to do a radar scan.

I believe they are scanning for nukes. I believe that's the reason for the unusually low altitudes.

Anyone with any knowledge give a yea or nay on this???
