Notices
### It is against the APC Forum Rules to advocate any labor action which is not authorized by the RLA/NMB. This applies to ANY wildcat actions, including slowdown, work-to-rules, withdrawal of enthusiasm (WOE), sickouts, etc. It is irrelevant whether the union itself has anything to do with the action. Major unions have lost court cases and in one instance suffered severe financial damage in the process. Online posts, including anonymous posts and posts made here on APC, have been used in lawsuits against unions. Many major airlines are in negotiations at this time, and many are contentious. We have been contacted by major union legal teams regarding this issue. The rules here have not changed, but the enforcement will now result in a 30 day ban from APC for violations. Please don't sabotage your own union's efforts on your behalf.
### In order to submit updates to the APC Airline Profiles, please send updates directly to Rickair7777 via Private Message (PM). I will review and forward them to Internet Brands staff for posting.
### APC now features a variety of user badges, which can be optionally enabled as desired (USER CP / Left Side Bar / Badges). Some badges become available when certain metrics are met (ex. years registered).

how do stealth a/c show up on friendly radar?
I have wondered this for many years, but how does something like the B2 show up on ATC radar? Do they have a transponder?

Don't you guess have a reflector you can hang out there too? I thought at least the old f-117 do, but don't quote me on that.

There is also a button to turn off stealth mode.

Just look for the "bird sized radar cross section" that has a groundspeed of 600 knots.

F-117 has RCS enhancers (Radar Cross Section) and use a transponder like all other aircraft. Radar 'reflectors' is a good analogy.

The stealthy birds have to be able to unstealth for operations in civilian airspace...invisible airplanes wouldn't mix well with airliners in RVSM.
