They're a great way of knowing that someone is out there, but seldom
who.
I assume it applies to many new xponders but some can be set up to use
minimum power for glider, balloons & vintage aircraft use. I hope CASA do
not discover this fact soon as they could change our minimum equipment.

A bunt is a forward push on the stick, not necessarily an outside loop. Fighter
pilots like to keep the target in sight, hence the push not a pull.

Appears the incident was in Class G? Is looking out the window optional?
An outside loop at 1000'AGL sounds like dramatic licence.
As does turning a transponder off for a five hour flight.
The 2006 Hawker / ASG29 (TXP off) midair near Minden was in pretty
similar Class E. Repercussions are still
