#1 They have GPS approaches but the MDA (Minimum Decent Altitude) is about 500 feet. Not near as low as an ILS.

#2 An impressive snafu. Sounds like the Denver airport baggage handling system, but with planes instead of suitcases.

#3 The original article may have been written by a baboon. A more informative headline would have been: Lubbock Airport Instrument Landing System Jammed by Intermittent RFI, Culprits Sought Eliminating intermittent RFI, or any intermittent electronic signal, can be fiendishly difficult. (Intermittent RFI may also be part of the random accelerator problems in Toyota cars).

#4 Walkin' like a millionaire
Smilin' like a king
He leaned his shopping cart against the wall
He said, "I been a lot of places
And I seen a lot of things
But, sonny, I seen one thing that beats 'em all
I was flyin' back from Lubbock
I saw Jesus on the plane
...or maybe it was Elvis
You know, they kinda look the same
Hey, look out, Junior, you're steppin' on my bed"
I said, "I don't see nothin"
He just glared at me and said,
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
If dirt were dollars
I wouldn't worry anymore - Don Henley

Couldn't help it, folks. The name Lubbock set me off.

#5 AM seeing more + more "GREEN" = AURORA BOREALIS wavy gravy bands over GUAM-WESTPAC > BETWEEN THE SUN [Global Warming] + LATE NITE DARPA-DOD MILPROJECT TESTING, Guam's Airport is lucky it hasn't turned LUBBOCK yet nor suffered anuther KAL crash.

* MSM-NET > VARIOUS > 2012 > Perts are expecting MASSIVE SOLAR STORMS to damage electronic + other sensitive mediums.

IMO read, "SIRIUS EVENT II"? STRONGER? which the SUN, GW Perts have not reached a full unified consensus on.
