What is the name of your state? Florida

I just received a speeding ticket for supposedly doing 80 in a 60 with an airplane that apparently clocked me with those big white lines that cross the highway.

If both officers show up to court, what defense could I use?

It would be a lot like a vascar type of measurement....

this link has some good info on it...

"Reaction time by the operator could affect the determination of speed"

"The roadways must be marked and the area must also be free of any obstructions so as not to interfere with the identification of any suspected violator"

"Finally, this method requires additional officers for court testimony. Some agencies will attempt to limit the necessity to have aircraft crews testify in court by having officers from the ground accompany the pilot so they can testify when the case comes to court."

I could see positive ID as a problem as well...
