September 29, 2005 Near Miss for 2 Jets on a Las Vegas Runway By MATTHEW L. WALD WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 - An America West passenger jet taking off from Las Vegas missed hitting an Air Canada jet by about 100 feet last Thursday night, according to a preliminary report, because a controller in the tower confused two planes and issued conflicting instructions. [snip] He said, as did others, that the aviation agency had computer systems in place... The aviation agency has a system for seeing through clouds and rain, using signals given off by the planes themselves, as opposed to radar, which bounces electromagnetic energy off the planes' skins. But the agency has not installed it at Kennedy. I thought it was odd, in a creapy kind of way, that the reporter kept referring to it as 'the agency.' Very Matt Helm, ...or Our Man Flint. Either one.
