If a cop managed shoot the gas tank on a flying plane, I wouldnā€™t even be mad if I died in that crash

The fuel tanks are in the wings on most planes, theyā€™re not that hard to hit.

Oh I donā€™t think it will be the police you need to worry about.

And Iā€™m pretty sure even the smallest militaries have AA guns at this point.

You ever see those ā€œSpeed limit enforced by aircraftā€ signs? Thatā€™s the guy you gotta worry about.

Thatā€™s what ā€œĀ©ā€ means. In most states you are by natural law not allowed to be faster than the speed of light

I donā€™t know of any where itā€™s allowed but I didnā€™t want to generalize since generalizations are always wrong. Always.

I never actually understood those. Do they actually have, likeā€¦ a drone? Is it snapping a photo? Howā€™s it all work?

So youā€™ll occasionally see two white lines perpendicular to the road at a set internal. A helicopter, drone, or plane can time when a car passes both of these lines and can calculate the average speed of the car.

This info is then relayed to a police car on the ground who then pulls over the driver.

Why is that better than the police officer who was going to pull them over just using a speed gun?

I drive through areas like this all the time for years. I have never heard of anyone actually getting a ticket from this.

I donā€™t know where op is from but a lot of states, especially in the western US require invasive species tags on any craft over a certain length, like 10 ft. Some also require state registration decals. Idaho is an example of one that takes the invasive species decals and water craft checkpoints very seriously.

Certain locales in CA are pretty big on it too. My local lake is huge on the decontamination thing and require certification on even small kayaks. They also like money too.

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.

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

They can pull you over to the next airport lr runway though, and not complying would result in the same situation as with a car lol.

ā€œ According to 49 U.S. Code Ā§ 46317, you cannot fly, or attempt to fly, an aircraft without the proper licensure. The penalty for violating this code can be substantial, with a maximum punishment of 3 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.ā€

Thatā€™s a lot worse than getting pulled over with no driverā€™s license.
