Those fighter pilots are real jokers.

i usually try to steer clear of bombing ranges when I fly lol.
Last time i flew over the grand canyon tho I had 5 "bear cats" (that's
how ATC was referring to them over the radio) T-38 jets fly straight
towards me and break left at the last minute. I heard ATC talking to
them the whole time and ATC was warning me of traffic 12 o'clock
coming straight for me. not much I could do except watch them go by
since i was going 150kts and they were a bit faster haha. it almost
seemed a bit on purpose but who knows, i could only hear what ATC say
saying to them, they were responding on another frequency. made the
last part of the trip a little less boring, after you cross the canyon
it's pretty flat and desolate land for miles.

If you fly in the blue restricted zones of the Wendover Bombing
Range or the Utah Test and Training Range, you will notice when
they are testing. It is very effective. Bad thing is it jams
your central office BITS clocks too!

The FAA has been issuing NOTAMS like that for a while now. I've
been in the air during a couple (live in CO and fly to SoCal a
lot) and never noticed loss of GPS. Looks like a reporter from
gizmodo finally noticed this NOTAM and wrote about it.
Shouldn't be a problem for any ground based GPS units. And if you
own a Phenom 300 then you can just blast up to 45,000ft to avoid
the jamming ;)
