~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.
