    Cruising at 10,000 metres and the blue screen of Death pops up. Shades of 2001…

    It’s 04:22 here and I’m about to take the Sako for a run, chasing pigs. That’s if the bloody wind doesn’t get up. It’s been windy for months. Fine for hunting in scrub at close range, but a pain over longer distances in open country.

    This shows the radar records have been tampered with.

    I read somewhere that the passengers cell phones were ringing, usually if you’re out of cell reception like at the bottom of the sea, it’ll just go to voice mail or similar.

    I doubt the plane was blown up or just crashed, it’s a modern aircraft and there’s no indication of it. I also doubt the plane was shot down by accident.

    I think it’s been hijacked and the authorities are trying to negotiate with them and would rather not have all the journos ‘helping’ them.

    From the latest Woodpile Report. http://www.woodpilereport.com/html/index-360.htm
    Down Dixie way – The wives and girlfriends were real women, and seemed to think being a woman was a good thing. Men thought it was a good thing, that’s for sure. It was like there were two kinds of people, men and women, instead of just one. It’s a novel concept, I reckon. But we liked it. And they were just nice. You could easily tell a Southern gal from a menopausing crocodile. Up North, you’d need a DNA test.

    The ‘plane could be anywhere, ‘speshly considrin tuckin’ into another ‘plane’s tummy and rafar profile. More to this than we’s getting.

    Anyway, just shutting me mouth up for a while, woodpile half read, tucked away. Only one Tuesday each week. Rationing already!

    It might be that I have read too much Tom Clancy,but let’s suppose you wanted to steal a current model airliner.
    The best time to do it would be in early in flight not too long after reaching cruising altitude.You could switch not the transponder off,but the emitter and duck down to 10,000ft.You would be off flight control radar and globesat,but would still be receiving data.

    The passengers would be either dropped off in the middle of nowhere or liquidated.

    Now why would someone want to steal an airliner?

    Let’s suppose it’s a cool autumn day at any airport in any major city.Local Air Traffic control picks up an inbound flight without a transponder number.LAT radios the pilot,pilot says his transponder and radar are down and requests a landing vector.LAT gives a vector to the nearest runway.

    The plane continues on the assigned heading and at an altitude of 2,000 ft the last thing anyone in the area sees is a bright flash.http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_scratch.gif

    Or, Darin, let’s suppose the Chinese want to test their ability to take over control of the airplane filled with Chinese made CPU’s and circuit boards and this is just a test run as much US Military equipment is full of their electronic components. Boeing have realised too late their vulnerability to foreign made electronics and are late in the game in purchasing their own company for their mil-spec equipment. :roll:

      No need to go to that trouble,I posted this link awhile back,Dr Kathleen Fisher,brainy chic on security in embeded systems.

      So now imagine that an innocent passenger simply syncs thier I-pod to the seat back console unaware that the new Daft Punk song they downloaded off Torret contains malware….and somewhere in Dubai a Saudi prince with a screwed up mind pays for his own custom version.

      Or just crappy Chinese glue was used in the main build up. :mrgreen:

    Darin… Do you mind if I insert a couple of lines into your scary narrative?

    “The plane continues on the assigned heading…………………………………………………………….
    A radar operator sights an unknown radar return, flags it as a possible incursion.
    The Royal Malaysian Air Force scramble one (or more) of their 18 available Sukhoi Su-30MKM multirole aircraft.

    ……………………………………………………………………… and at an altitude of 2,000 ft the last thing anyone in the area sees is a bright flash.”

    The stifling female-centric atmosphere in the NZ media.
    http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/other-sports/9821601/Waikato-duo-win-world-trapshooting-titles

    Both these people won titles, but prominence is given to the female , competing in the female division, as “world champion”. The male is given much less exposure, as simply the winner of the men’s division.
    And what I’d love to know is why, in those sports which don’t rely on brute strength, women have their own women’s category?
    The truth is that almost every damn time they’d be beaten by males in open competition and this is just a way to preserve the “women can do anything men can do” myth. :evil:

    ‘..The man who can’t do most things and won’t do the rest. The pet of philanthropists and self-seeking landlubbers. The sympathetic and deserving creature that knows all about his rights, but knows nothing of courage, of endurance, and of the unexpressed faith, of the unspoken loyalty that knits together a ship’s company. The independent offspring of the ignoble freedom of the slums full of disdain and hate for the austere servitude of the sea…’

    ‘The President Makes A Grab For Dictatorial Power’
    ‘The U.S. is at “a constitutional tipping point” and “in the midst of a constitutional crisis.” Has President Obama unilaterally overturned the constitutional framework of three branches that is the basis of our unique and successful system of self-government?
    That question is not just partisan bickering by Republicans and Tea Party activists. It was spoken in all seriousness in testimony before the House Judiciary Committee by a distinguished constitutional law professor who voted for Obama.
    Jonathan Turley of George Washington University said that the “massive gravitational shift of authority to the executive branch” is unconstitutional and threatens the stability of our separation of powers and checks and balances….’

      Nice pig, not a bad rifle. ;-) From your rifle link, I find it interesting that the U.S. military and others are increasingly turning (and returning) to 7.62. For years some of us have been saying 5.56 is inadequate in a hell of a lot of circumstances–and we’ve been derided as fossils for saying so.

    ‘..The nation has now had the best lesson it could ever receive, short of martial law, in the wages of Government Uber Alles. The events of the past five years have left us with no margin at all. If the American people don’t elect principled, freedom-loving men to Congress this coming November, and to the White House two years hence, they will have made an irrevocable choice. It is quite possible that even if the people’s choices are good ones, they will nevertheless be overridden: by vote fraud, by voter intimidation, by other political subornations, or by the determination of the Obamunists to remain in power regardless of all else. All the same: short of an actual armed uprising, the elections are all we have…’
