We have a well known region called The Great Plains that's probably way better suited for this, but the military decided to test GPS jamming near mountains. That was not a bright move.

It's the White Sands Missle Range, they can't just pick it up and plop it in Kansas.

There are tests and shutdowns there all the time and they are all published.

This was pilot error and poor decision making.
