October 12, 201113 yr too right i would have fired LOL . hate to be a killjoy, but those radar guns have a maximum range of around 1 mile... so how they managed to lock on to a tornado is a mystery...
October 12, 201113 yr whats the radar range of the tornado jet? bet it locked onto the police radar, causing a fauls readout b4 jamming the signal. ......he he he ..........shame the pilot had some common sence lol
October 12, 201113 yr Radar range is classified, and in peace time i doubt they would have had live ordinance...
October 13, 201113 yr Much as we would love it to be true ...... it ain't. This story has been going round since at least the mid-90's to my certain knowledge - I worked in the MoD back then and recall some of my uniformed pals having a chuckle over it, not for the 'Stupid Cops' but for the impossibility of it.... If only the so-called journalist had bothered to check Snopes before committing to print .....!
October 13, 201113 yr whats the radar range of the tornado jet? bet it locked onto the police radar, causing a fauls readout b4 jamming the signal. ......he he he ..........shame the pilot had some common sence lol Using the Foxhunter radar, it's 115 miles, but shhhhh, don't tell anybody because it's classified.
