I remember when I traveled from Vancouver (Canada, that country to the north of the US) to Seattle when I was kid we used to have to keep a watch our for speed planes … are they not common anymore?

So what says:

Missouri has them.

Minus the missiles.

EJmcn says:

We have them in Canada to all so minus the missiles. You know you “could” be monitored when you see white lines on the road thy use them to tell how fast you are going.

MattG says:

We used to have these here in Gitmo Nation Down Under. There are lines marked in the road and a guy in a plane with a stop watch who calls ahead to a cop waiting ahead. They can pull in a lot of people in a short period.

Been replaced by camera’s now here.

We’ve had those out in the middle of no where New Mexico since I was a kid and I have never heard of anybody getting a ticket as a result of an aircraft, I was told that it was too expensive and that the signs were there just to scare you since there is only 1 cop per 50 miles.

It may not be a joke. That area is fairly rural, so speed could reasonably be determined by aircraft using VASCAR.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascar

Happens fairly frequently here in Nebraska on the Interstates. Slow, low, State Patrol plane flies over the Interstate timing cars between white stripes space .25 mile apart on the road and radios the dozen or so hidden troopers parked at the next on-ramp.

Assuming a simple speeding ticket takes 10 minutes total, they can catch 60 people an hour and have a dramatic show of force that gets motorists in both directions to slow down.
