Don't we have an alternative, such as inertial navigation. <br /><br />This seems to show a major weakness in our capabilities. Or did we make an emergency landing to draw attention to the jamming?Alaska Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16503023042469463899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10820485.post-12490430733943919982011-09-09T13:14:00.987-04:002011-09-09T13:14:00.987-04:00I love GPS jammers.
