Two Highway Patrol Officers were conducting speeding enforcement
on I-5, just north of Oceanside , San Diego , California .


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 and climbing.


The officer attempted to reset the radar gun, but it would not
reset and then it suddenly turned off.



Just then, a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the
radar had in fact locked on to a USAF F-16 Falcon which was engaged
in a low flying exercise near this, its home base location.


Back at the California Highway Patrol Headquarters the Patrol
Captain fired off a complaint to the US Air Force Base Commander
for shutting down his equipment.


The reply came back in true Air Force style:

'Thank you for your letter.

You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the
Falcon 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 Air Force Pilot flying the Falcon 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 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.

Aim High

Love this! Although this story must be some years old because it has been years since I have seen a CHP speed trap in that area. Guess now I know why!
