Well, for one they can run interference quite well.

I was on a local interstate highway this afternoon, running along in my '71 Challenger doing the standard 62 in a 55 when along comes one of Brown's finest delivery vehicles. Caught up fast and went on past.

Well, being the chalk 2 kinda Hawk pilot I was for so many years, I fell into a loose (2 vehicle separation) staggered right and rode in his shadow until my exit. We pretty much held about 75 all the way.

Now I know that 75 in a 55 is no big deal everywhere, but this stretch of road is a pretty good speed trap and the big brown box of radar reflective, American Iron hiding sheet metal was just the ticket to my no ticket afternoon.

I will never have a need to ride in the shadow of any of Brown's aircraft I'm sure, but the ground guy's escort was much appreciated by this too often ticketed ex-rotorhead.

Take it from a former traffic cop...when running moving RADAR, those things were great for hiding behind!!

Also, unless the police in your area use LIDAR (LASER to the laymen) or fastest target capable RADAR units (still kinda rare) you can actually be in front of a truck of that size and be protected by the RADAR's tendency to display the speed of the truck due to the truck's much larger RADAR profile.

In some cases, a truck that was nearly 3/4 of a mile away would screw up a good RADAR reading on a speeding car a few hundred feet away.

Of course, your mileage may vary, and past performance does not guarantee future results.

You crack my $hit up ! Made my morning after 6.5 hours flying thru last night's midwestern lightshow.
