We arent talking about an F-16 radar, we are talking about the
more capable search radars at ground stations.

And now you will explain how FA18s picked up and intercepted an intruder (a
Cherokee Arrow - about a week ago) without having "more capable search
radars at ground stations" during a live firing exercise at a range, using
their on-board stuff. When, in fact, the intruder had disappeared from
civil radar some time before.

In other words, you don't have the faintest ****ing clue about what you're
mouthing off about.

But since you know it all, you can doubtless nominate the range involved,
the destination of the Arrow and the actions taken by the FA18 pilots and
civil ATC.

"more capable search radars at ground stations"

- mmm - radar is not really your forte, eh?.......

or do you think they are going to chop the wings and u/c off the Wedgetail
and sell that for scrap while they set up the remainder propped up by a
coupla fenceposts on a deserted airfield?

Keith, baby - you just stick to raising guinea pigs and leave the wheels and
levers stuff to people who have a clue, eh?
