The same story circulates around America too, only it's an F-18 landing at Miramar.  The landing pattern takes them over the freeway.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Expat that's what I said ;).  Funny but sadly fake ;).  But otherwise, the answer is on that page 8-)
Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

That's not the point. It proves the Sidewinder can be used on ground targets. :P

I don't see why they couldn't be... A hovering helicopter is an air target, but what if it's stationary at a certain altitude? If the altitude is zero, and you're a bobbie, and you're going nowhere, then you're still kind of an air target. Sort of?  :( ;)

Missiles can certainly chase an SUV  ;D

If a higher surface elevation is involved, as long as the tracking radar can lock on, even a SAM can take out a ground target. Other than the fact that the antenna array was limited on low end elevation, the biggest problem we had was sorting out a low level acft from ground clutter in the distance. Fortunately, the plane got closer and, unless the plane dropped ordnance, the trees and buildings didn't; we rarely tried locking onto stationary targets -- the moving targets were of much greater concern.
