Old Radar

Many moons ago read a story (maybe Urban Myth) about a US pilot having severe headaches, followed by sight loss. Subsequently he recalled having been standing chatting for a significant period, leaning on the radome of of his A/C (I heard DC9 but must have been a low set nose!), and then boarding to find the radar ahd been left on. When his problems developed, he was told due to the Frq/Wavlelntgh of the radar (approx 3 Cm), there were four organs in the body of a size susceptible to microwave-style heating and tissue damage (dipole effect or somesuch) , two of which were his eyeballs!

Good to stay away from.
