  • Shoot it down, or just get it’s attention. A lot of the time there’s a radio fuckup. If some guy cruising in his Cessna sees a fighter pull up along side, he’s definitely switching to 121.5.

    There was a commercial jet that was non responsive and the fighter could see the pilots passed out.

    Otherwise be there to shoot it down quicker if it looks like it might be taking an aggressive action.


  • Usb c has 24 pins. A typical barrel / stereo style jack has 2 - 4. The connector would have to be absolutely huge to carry the number of wires.

    Power plugs are similar problems. You need 3 wires and you can’t risk the pins crossing over each other and shorting out. You don’t care about that on your headphones due to the low voltages. Wall plugs need to be fully isolated and safe.
