While we're one the subject of radar returns, a while back I was flying skydivers and was asked by BN-CTR if I could see anything about 13-15miles off the coast SE of BNA. When I looked there was what looked very much like an Aircraft Carrier. when I advised CTR thats all I can see, he replied that must be the radar return he's seeing moving south at about 25kts. I was surprised as they often dont/can't see light aircraft below about 500' in the circuit at BNA, but can see a ship, approx 18-20miles further away from their radar site in the hills behind the GC ?
