Compressor Stall,

Thought you might be interested in something I heard on Brisbane FS and at the same time on 121.5:

" Aircraft tracking 095 at 500' towards [ whatever place it was ] you are transiting a notamed prohibited area and are advised to clear that area immediately"

15 Secs or so later " aircraft transiting area bla bla bla you are heading towards U.S Naval vessels and they have advised me that if you get within 500 metres of them your flight will be terminated." At this stage the controller was getting quite anxious!!

This was also broadcast by someone on 121.5 The last transmission I heard was words of this effect.
" Aircraft transiting area bla you are within one mile of US navy ships, turn right immediately.......

On 121.5 I heard " For christ sakes man get out of there!!

The alleged aircraft must have turned and headed off as we didn't hear about it on the news!!

True story.

But if you want to go and have a look, go for it??
