Sneaking across Lake Superior undetected

Henry

So easy.

Put a gallon of water in one tank and not use that tank until you have
landed. Switch to it and let engine suck up the water and quit.

On your radar question.

At 200 feet you would have to be very close to any land based radar to
be seen. On the AWACS, I doubt if they have 7/24 AWACS over the Lakes.
Too many hot spots around the world and limited resources.

There could be some Aerostats (sp) (Tethered balloons with Radar) up
there like they have along the southern border that would paint? Just
don't know about that.

Maybe someone up there is knowledgable about that system on Norther
Border???

If you are working on the Meigs Field fiasco, have at it G.

answered my message. The long and short of the answers I have received is
"Maybe, but not likely." I'll have my evasive pilot (not a terrorist but a
good guy on a mercy mission of sorts) file a flight plan, cross the lake at
a reasonable altitude, have "engine trouble" and land well short of his
posted point of arrival to offload his cargo before the sheriff arrives.

Now how could I fix the engine to seem to have had engine trouble? Loosen a
couple of magneto leads? Anyone?

Can a 172 flying at 200 feet above water across Lake Superior get through
undetected by radar or AWACS? Are there holes in radar coverage?

Nice try, Osama!
