A very similar thing happened a couple of years ago here in Australia, the guy who did it got 12 years in prison from memory.

Radio nerds literally do it for free. You can triangulate a radio signal and if you're doing shit like that someone will absolutely find you. Should have done it from a car from different locations.

yup. quite easy to do. the fcc has teams that do this in the states but for every chaotic evil autist like this one there is indeed a lawful good autist who will do the triangulating pro bono

triangulation, the same way the cell towers know your exact location at all times. Anything that emits electromagnetic noise can be triangulated.

>”United 961 heavy, tower. Lots of traffic in the air today. Turn heading 270, ascend to 89,000 feet. Cut engines and glide backwards to runway 30. We’ve got a SAM in front of the runway so you may need to invert. Once you pick up ILS, dive straight into the ground, over.”
