CNN's post-Cessna-invasion programming

Yeah, but Phil said that when pilots like these guys are rusty about
choosing the appropriate frequency to communicate with F-16s, there are
"400" possible frequencies to pick from. I think he's forgetting that
center knob for setting tenths and hundreds.

The piece with the pilot reporter and the interview with Phil Boyer were
pretty fair, IMHO.

Hi all -

According to the CNN web site, CNN will be having a program tonight
entitled, "Defending the Skies: The threat small planes and their pilots
pose to security." It's on at 8 PM EDT (on "Paula Zahn NOW"). Should
be interesting to find out how much of a threat we are.

Perhaps that is the number of frequencies that the military and civil
aircraft have in common, or the number of frequencies that are
actually in use, as opposed to the number the comm radio is capable of
tuning.

Wouldn't it be just wonderful if for once you came in here with some hard
data rather than your usual worthless suppositions?

The civilian aircraft have a maximuim of 760 legal channels, no more and no
less Some civilian aircraft have 2, 10, 90, 180. 360, 720, or 760 channels,
depending on how old their radios are.. Military aircraft equipped with
civilian radios have a maximum of 720 or 760 channels, no more and no less.

Wouldn't it be nice if you had some evidence that military aircraft
are equipped with civilian radios, or is that just supposition?
