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.
