FAA warning pilots in Southeast that traffic avoidance technology disrupted ("Military Activities")

Bottom line:

Military is either:

1: Testing some new, very stealthy, very fast aircraft. Speed is indicated by size of test area.

2: Testing some new, very powerful radar / air defense avoidance technology. Power is indicated by size of test area.

3: Both

"military activities."

Soviet Bear Bombers flying from Siberia to Cuba to Greet the Won?

TCAS disruption is a big deal....plus, I would much rather get a false alert than not receive an alert on real a conflict.

How stupid?

You need to ask?

It’s the gubernmt!

It can be huge distraction, however. VFR around FRG or TEB is is useless due to so many false / no factor alerts.

Nanu Nanu.

BTW, did you ever wonder how no one had any idea of what “The Spaceman’ looked like, after he had been treated at Walter Reed for three days!

Just saw The Day The Earth Stood Still for the first time. Rally surprised at how good a movie it was.

FRG? Federal Republic of Germany?

Michael Rennie was ill
The Day the Earth Stood Still
But he told us where we stand.
And Flash Gordon was there
In silver underwear.
Claude Rains was The Invisible Man.
Then something went wrong
For Fay Wray and King Kong.
They got caught in a celluloid jam.
Then at a deadly pace
It Came From Outer Space
And this is how the message ran...

"Ceterum censeo 0bama esse delendam."

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Russian Bear bombers flying along the coast. See King’s Bay. This is serious stuff.

” air defense avoidance technology”

I’ll go with this.

In simple terms, radar return masking via 3rd party device, IOW, broad area Stealth.

It was the opposite of the original plus it had Keanu Reeves in it!
