Rust actually entered the Soviet Union after a stop in

border, so NATO had nothing to do with it. (snip)

His flight started in Hamburg Germany, with a stop in Helsinki for fuel.
According to every report I've read, he crossed into East Germany on the
border with West Germany. To do this without detection, he would have had
to
avoid United States, NATO, and Soviet radar. In my opinion, that was
impossible. Therefore, there is more to this story that has not been told.

Yeah, right. It's a "secret". Do you really think that this "scam" you
propose included the sacrificial canning of Soviet Generals to cover
the real truth? Makes no sense at all.

I have enough stick, pedal and hanger bum time to know that if you
plan your flight properly and keep your head down while flying a light
A/C the chances of detection by ground-based radar are quite low if
you know what you're doing.
Ask the drug dealers who have flown DC-6s into this country undetected
how they did it. You can bet yer bippy that the kid was not flying at
10,000 AGL with his transponder squawking his S/N, yes?

Go for it, Ace. Tell us all how it was... :-)

This going to be another one of those "bear shooting for naval
intelligence" things?

Of course you carry a radar receiver in your ultra-light and can
TELL whenever you are swept by a radar beam... :-)

Oh, and by the way, this sort of thing isn't close to amateur radio
policy, is it? :-)
