HUD view of a near-miss
"Ross Richardson" wrote...
I was once flying over Lake Texoma in North Central Texas at 2500' ( ground elevation is ~ 750') and 3 C-130s went UNDER me. That was interesting. I was coasting in (south TX, late 70s) on a published low-level route where it crossed another one. I was in an A-4 at 500' or so, and a B-52 passed under me. There also used to be a segment of another route in NV (early 90s) where 2 routes ran in opposite directions. They were supposed to be deconflicted by the controlling agency, but it didn't always work. I was in an A-6 at 200' and passed under 1 A-10 going the other way (really -- they weren't JUST slow!) and abeam his wingman. |
