I just got this email forwarded to me from my dad
Top this for a speeding ticket
Two
California Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement
on I-15, just north of the Marine Corps Air Station at Miramar. One of the officers was using a hand held radar device to check speeding vehicles approaching the crest of a hill.
The
officers were suddenly surprised when the radar gun began reading 300
miles per hour. The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it
would not reset and then turned off.
Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the radar had in fact locked on to a USMC F/A-18 Hornet, which was engaged in a low flying exercise near the location.
Back at the CHP Headquarters the Patrol Captain fired off a complaint to the USMC Base Commander. The reply came back in true USMC style:
Thank you for your letter. We can now complete the file on this incident.
You
may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the Hornet had
detected the presence of, and subsequently locked on to, your hostile
radar equipment and automatically sent a jamming signal back to it,
which is why it shut down.
Furthermore, an Air-to-Ground missile
aboard the fully armed aircraft had also automatically locked on to
your equipment location.
Fortunately, the Marine Pilot flying
the Hornet recognized the situation for what it was, quickly responded
to the missile system alert status and was able to override the
automated defense system before the missile was launched to destroy the
hostile radar position.
The
pilot also suggests you cover your mouths when cussing at them, since
the video systems on these jets are very high tech. Sergeant Johnson,
the officer holding the radar gun, should get his dentist to check his
left rear molar. It appears the filling is loose. Also, the snap is
broken on his holster.
Thank you for your concern.
Semper Fi.
