Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields: Western Pacific Islands

MALWARE WARNING!

[Yosemitest]

If you dump Windows, you won’t have that problem.

[Carriage Hill]

And if I open a vein and bleed-out, I won’t get the flu any more, either. I’ll take your word for it that you’re running a Mac and are bullet-proof.

[Yosemitest]

I run windows for 30 years or more, while listening to my military friends telling me to dump it and I'd be happier.
I finally did a fews years ago ... and I am . I wouldn't say I'm bullet-proof, but just lesser of a target.

My sister bought a 27” iMac with all the bells & whistles, and after setting it up for her (threw away her HP lapper w/ Win-8 garbage), I was very, very impressed. I’ve had Win-7 Pro with a 2009 industrial-grade computer, 1tb HD & 32gb mem, and it’s flawless, but I’d switch to Mac in a heartbeat if all my apps would work on it. They won’t, so I’m staying where I am. Mac makes beautiful hardware, but there’s software issues I can’t surmount and at 64, on PCs (DOS 2) since 1986, don’t feel like learning it all over again.

[Yosemitest]

I'm happy with mine, and the older I get, that 27" screen is an eye saver and a half.
You should check out this.

Parallels Desktop 9 for Mac

It's a great program, and I've got friends that use it and love it.
They say it changes windows enough and allows you to separate it from your internet connection, if you want.
But I'm not an expert and you should check out the Parallels home site

[Carriage Hill]

Thanks, I’ll look into it.

From the news from Fox about the updates and "Handshakes" from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, based on the chart graphics showing their "handshakes" suggesting it departing northwest ontowards Iran.

Jet Route P628 Northwest to (http://skyvector.com/ on World Hi Chart) Port Blair (VOPB) Navaid
then W111 (272) and P628 (272) northwest to VATLA Way Point via P628 (173) to URKOK Way Point
to KAGUL to LARK to DORL (India) via JABALPUR Navaid
to RAHIM YAR KHAN Navaid

Now a more educated guessing

At RAHIM YAR KHAN navaid they probably changed airways and took a different jet route
G452 to ZAHEDAN to KERMAN Iran.

The "handshakes" probably stopped due to poor coverage or landing at a desert location to refuel.

Actually that doesn’t surprise me.There are so may birds up therer its very possible. What’s also very possible is we only get a dribble of the real news that happens.

Update:

Someone sent me another piece of information you should read.

" Someone on another thread posted a link to a theory that the missing 777 used SIA68 (Singapore Airlines flight 68) to cloak their own airplane until they could get across the Indian Ocean, away from primary radar.

http://keithledgerwood.tumblr.com/post/79838944823/did-malaysian-airlines-370-disappear-using-sia68-sq68 "

That's a really good theory.

Did Malaysian Airlines 370 disappear using SIA68/SQ68 (another 777)?Monday, March 17, 2014 - 12:01 AM EST

But there's problems when you try to match it with the
the arc graph (click on it for more detailed info) that shows the estimated range of the aircraft with it's remaining fuel IF it was flying at its MAXIMUM SPEED or 7 hours 30 minutes of fuel.

Now, from the article:

this statement towards the end of his article.
" A satellite was able to pick up a ‘ping’ from the plane until 08:11 local time,
more than seven hours after it lost radar contact,
although it was unable to give a precise location.
Mr Razak went on to say that based on this new data, investigators ‘have determined the plane’s last communication with a satellite was in one of two possible corridors –
north from the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan through to northern Thailand,
and south from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean. "

My problem is ~ I don't know how accurate that Red Arc map is,
and I don't know whether to trust it or not.

I've been trying to match up the numbers on a "guess-ta-mated" flight path.

You can narrows down the search area if you take all the Satellite "Handshakes" into consideration for the search of runways/landing strips that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 could have landed on.

A look at Malaysia Airlines jet's mysterious course 04:03

The Way Point on the northwet side of her screen is "IGREX" on Jet Route "P628" where the heading changes to a more northerly direction 320 degrees to PORT BLAIR Navaid.

" ...roughly four hours after the jet dropped from civilian radar screens, these people said, the link operated in a kind of standby mode and sought to establish contact with a satellite or satellites.

That's a total airborne time of about 4 hours 40 minutes from takeoff.

The arc graph shows the estimated range of the aircraft with it's remaining fuel IF it was flying at its MAXIMUM SPEED or 7 hours 30 minutes of fuel.

Now, from the article:

north from the border of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan through to northern Thailand,
and south from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean. "

That's 7 hours and 31 minutes after takeoff.

"... The plane departed for an overnight flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing at 12:40 a.m. on March 8.
Its communications with civilian air controllers were severed at about 1:20 a.m., and the jet went missing ... "

That leaves 2 Hours 50 minutes to travel from "IGREX" on Jet Route "P628 to an undefined point on that arc of 7 hours 30 minutes from takeoff.

Let's say that the pilot leans the engines out to get the most out of his fuel for distance with the remaining time for "IGREX" and gets 3 hours if time,
before he hits his 20 minutes safety margin on fuel and then starts to burn his 1 hour emergency fuel.
At maximum speed of Mach 0.89 (590 mph, 950 km/h, 512 knots) at a cruise altitude of 35,000 ft , that would allow him 1770 miles of distance (to the red arc), before hitting his reserves.

Let's assume that since he stayed on the Jet Routes, he continued to stay on the Jet Routes.

Now take that information and the arc ping map (important to view this map at this link for more details) along with the jet route map, and you can find possible links.

Now I run the numbers on the Jet Routes starting from "IGREX" on Jet Route "P628" and starting subtotaling for a target of 1770 Nautical Miles.
