_Top this for a speeding ticket..._
Two Hunter traffic patrol officers from Newcastle LAC were involved
in an unusual incident while checking for speeding motorists on the
F3 Freeway.
One of the officers used a hand-held radar device to check the
speed of a
vehicle
approaching over the crest of a hill, and was surprised when the
speed was
recorded at over 300 mph. Their radar suddenly stopped working and
the
officers were not able to reset it.
Just then a deafening roar over the treetops revealed that the
radar had in
fact
latched on to a Williamtown Tornado fighter jet which was engaged in
a
low-flying
exercise over Wyong, approaching from the Ocean.
Back at police headquarters the Local Area Commander fired off a
stiff
complaint
to the RAAF Liaison officer at Williamtown. Back came the reply in
true laconic
RAAF style:
"Thank you for your message, which allows us to complete the file
on this
incident.
You may be interested to know that the tactical computer in the
Tornado had
detected
the presence of, and subsequently locked onto, your hostile radar
equipment and
automatically sent a jamming signal back to it. Furthermore, an air-
to-ground missile
aboard the fully-armed aircraft had also automatically locked onto
your equipment.
Fortunately the pilot flying the Tornado recognized the situation
for what
it was,
quickly responded to the missile systems alert status, and was able
to
override the
automated defense system before the missile was launched and your
hostile radar
installation was destroyed. Thank you for your enquiry.
