Looks like this confirms they added an altimeter to the Flamingo. Its guidance system has come a long way since the original version was first tested last August
Local residents filmed an FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile flying almost directly overhead at extremely low altitude.

Black Hawk helicopter that hit passenger plane might have had an inaccurate altimeter and crew may not have heard calls from control tower, NTSB says.
Black Hawk helicopter’s altimeter may have been inaccurate, pilots may have missed some calls from control tower | CNN
A preliminary analysis of the flight data and voice recorder on board a Black Hawk helicopter leading up to the collision with a commercial flight over Washington, DC, on January 29, indicated the hel...

And honestly kinda selfish of the captain not to take this walk around!

what about this turns you into a human altimeter, did they figure that out

(3/3) Sea level pressure 1013.0 mb (assumed to be 10XX.X mb based on normal SLP, but altimeter of 38.08 in. would be 1289.54 mb).

Specifically that there were two approaches into the airport in question: RNAV, which should not have been in play if GPS jamming was NOTAM'd, and an ILS approach, which was only legal w/local altimeter settings......except it's a nontowered airport and the automated wx system was out of service

And to finish a bit - Dew point 9degC (which would mean basically no chance of fog with that temperature), altimeter 30.29, sea level pressure 254 (don't know the translation), some temps and dew point numbers, and a need for maintenance ($) :)

Okay. You see that lever on the right, just below the radar screen? The red one? When I say, pull that lever halfway towards you. Then check your altimeter and airspeed.
Stay loose, you can do this.
Then go check your pantry to see if you have MORE TEA.

Yeah you may live in the West, but do you have an altimeter in your car because you spend so much time in the mountains?

The altimeter/ILS issue almost doesn’t matter. ATC was going to give them vectors to the ILS anyway and let them do a visual landing off it, they just canceled IFR service when the GPS unjammed
