The military doesn't like airspace violations much...

Doesn't really matter which country.

It happened to a friend (with a pilot license I precise).

He was flying a small two seat aircraft and got contacted through the radio and for asked if he was ok to do a exercice with military aircraft.

He agreed so soon after two fighter jet arrived on his left and right. To be able to fly at the same speed as him they were almost standing vertically. They directed him for a bit without any radio contact, then thanked him through the radio and left.

They were doing a exercise to direct someone with no radio contact.

Even if I knew the jets were exercising, I'd still be making diamonds.

I feel like this is the type of thing where as a passenger you'd be having the time of your life but the pilot? Shaved 10 years off lol.

I'm reminded of Mathias Rust. The guy is very lucky he wasn't shot down.

You ever see those “Speed limit enforced by aircraft” signs? That’s the guy you gotta worry about.

That's what "©" means. In most states you are by natural law not allowed to be faster than the speed of light

I don't know of any where it's allowed but I didn't want to generalize since generalizations are always wrong. Always.

Physics is full of woke librul propaganda like “conservation of energy”.

In my state we obey the laws of alchemy.

[–] SternburgExport@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Not with that mindset

All fun and games until tower gives you a number to call.
