Agreed. Very different mission. I'd imagine ultimately FAA will force it though as the tech will ultimately become completely trivial cost and size (even at gvt rates
) and, possibly prevent stuff like this domestically. IIRC a cherokee pilot was decapitated several decades ago in a military overtake, and also there was a prominent collision out west in the 1980's if I remember right that killed a politician.
Wondering, how often are you in military radar contact when maneuvering in MOA, versus occasionally on own?
Early reports indicate the military jet was "on final" but who knows what that could mean.
