India, possibly their Air Force. Saw a satellite image on CNN. Possible to land a 777 there, but discounted because of Indian Air Force and nearby houses.

That’s why I think this was a dry run to find out what kind of surveillance is out there, how accurate is it and who has it.

Looks like libs discussing globalization.

I suppose they will also discuss global warming.

Is the usual way to review checklists on the B777 in binder form or electronically on a screen? (I presume there's always elaborated, binder backup.)

Would even fully checked-out pilots be carrying around a bindered handbook to pull breakers in the bay below or could a typical Amish do it, given that everything is so well labeled?

You presume correctly about there always being a binder back up.

Anyone can be trained to locate a pull a certain circuit breaker. All you would need is a training manual, not even the actual cockpit. Ex: “Look behind the co-pilots head, third row down, second from the left, labeled such and such”
