[time-nuts] GPS Multipath from airplanes

I live 20 miles south of San Francisco airport.  It's common to see a 747 
size plane flying low nearby as they head for the landing queue.

My GPS antennas/receivers are not located in great places.  They fade out 
occasionally.  Some times are longer than others and such, but short dropouts 
are not uncommon.

Does anybody have any data on multipath from large flying reflectors?  Is 
that something known to cause problems for the 10-30 seconds that a plane is 
near enough or am I on a wild goose chase?


The obvious simple experiment would be to note the time when I see a plane 
and then check the logs, but I haven't remembered to do that yet.
