Instead of relying on radar guns, I wonder why the DS guys don't install those pitot tube systems that record the TAS onto a digital chip?
Agree. I was a certified radar operator and one of the first things taught with radar guns (especially K band) is you need to be locked in on the object for at least 3-5 seconds and dont radar vehicles that are in hard turn. They (instructors) proved it by demostrating on a known speed car ( I think I remember correctly, it was 45mph) going around a curve. We were getting readings from 30 - 60 mph. This was all back in the early 90's and I think most now use laser. I been out of that "biz" for 15 or so years.
Either way, the plane in video is indeed hauling butt.
