I wasn't sure where to post this and don't know what to make of it.
I was flying around the local area a few evenings ago, (South Alabama along the gulf coast). I noticed a target aircraft with a stinger so long it went off my ifly 740 screen. I tapped the target for the detailed information page and this is what came up. I know there's no way an aircraft was doing the speed shown. How can this happen? Can this be a glitch in the echo. It's my understanding that my ifly 740 is just reflecting the information provided by the echo. There is a restricted area just off the coast of Gulf Shores where the blue angels practice but this target is 7 miles east of the eastern part of that area.... and the top speeds of the F-18's are something like a 1000kts. The green dot is the Pensacola NAS just 15 miles ahead of the fast mover.... nothing about this makes any sense!
Any thoughts?
