you are some kind of expert on the affects of sonic booms from F22
Raptors? I doubt so. I found out today that the Air Force has been
flying F22s in this latest exercise.
While working for Alyeska Pipeline Service Company as a Pump Station
Technician in 1978 we had several unexplained glitches in the
Microwave links. Links that you probably helped install and maintain
from what I have read here. At one point we thought someone was using
an interceptor signal and closing the valves. Do you know what it
sounds like when a 48 inch mainline valve closes and blocks the oil
flow without an orderly shutdown? It sounds like a 747 jet taking
off. There is no explanation for unexplained glitches, and I will
assume that sonic booms from F22 Raptors have not been analyzed for
how they affect pipeline or oil refinery operations.
I do not think I am an idiot in these matters based on my US Army
schooling and experience as a Microwave Radio Equipment Repairman, on
my schooling and experience as a Senior Earth Station Technician for
American Satellite Cor****ation, on my schooling and experience as a
Pump Station Technician for Alyeska Pipeline Service Company, and my 7
years experience as a calibrator and quality assurance engineer for
Singer Kearfott working on the P3C, Sram Missile, and A7 inertial
guidance systems. This is in addition to my 30 years as an IBEW
journeyman wireman and 5 years studying Mathematics getting my degree
on the side. In other words , Floyd, I am not the idiot you would
like to make me out to be, but I am glad to find out who "you" is.
