Microwave is an electromagnetic radiation, as in this big ass space radar https://www.lockheedmartin.com/en-us/products/space-fence.html

Yes, microwaves are non-ionizing radiation. I would not suggest sticking your head in your microwave while it's running though.

they don't run with the door open

You now know a place in the world where you can overfly a giant microwave. Fo science!

Dude, I happen to have a metric shit ton of hours on various flight simulators. If you happen to have another shit ton of money we could manage something.

The warning wouldn't be for you in that case.

It doesn't say ionizing either bud. Radar at close up or very high levels can fuckup avionics leading to crashes.

If it were ionizing they would probably say more because wind in that area isn't constant direction.
