Thanks mssmith and Alan, I learned something new today. Haven't seen the "Flying Skunk" around for awhile. They're using radar these days.
I haven't seen the plane set up doing speed enforcement in a long time myself. I wonder if CHP quit using it for speed enforcement when they got radar? I got stopped by CHP once after being paced by the plane. It was kind of funny because I was working narcotics at the time and we were following a large scale drug dealer. We had five cars following the guy down the freeway and this idiot was doing 90 mph. We were having a hard time keeping up. We really had a hard time when we went through a airplane enforcement area and CHP got all five of undercover cars following the guy, but didn't stop the bad guy. So we lost him.
