"Here’s Why Aggressor Learjets Were Making Mock Attack Runs Towards Philly Last Night"

"The late-night exercise would have put the Navy's 'Cornfield Cruiser' through its paces."

It looks like contractor-operated Learjet 35 aggressor jets were putting the latest iteration of the U.S. Navy’s cutting-edge Aegis air defense system to the test last night, with a series of flights directed against the USS Rancocas, also known as 'The Cornfield Cruiser,' a unique ship-like laboratory located in New Jersey, around 20 miles outside of Philadelphia.

Learjet 35 "aggressor jets in a simulated attack the USS Rancocas the target. Rancocas not really a WARSHIP. A building with radars a-bristling as might be found on an American naval cruiser. Test those radars against a "simulated" enemy attack.
