[BurbankKarl]

if you have a good scanner in So Cal, tune to 271.0, set it in AM mode and listen to Norad intercept Air France flight 68, due at LAX 515pm

two F16s from AZ current refueling off Pacific

I got the map once, but when I've reloaded twice, it hasn't come up.... Could we be overwhelming the system at the moment?

[Celtjew Libertarian]

Take 2... Just give it a little time to come up.

At some point someone should hop in the shower. I guess it will be me.

(Series, hugh, etc.)

Thank God!!

I got the map....it is over the western US..

Why would terrorists use incoming foreign planes? No on-board fuel left!

Terror does not necessarily require an airborne bomb. Killing people by crashing a plane full of people into a shopping mall is effective too. Since France is a country of ingrates, who apparently haven't figured this thing called "security" out yet; it's a great place to go shopping for an aircraft full of cowards.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. The planes don't land on vapors. They have plenty of fuel left.

Moreover, if you'll review the footage of Flight 232 (DC-10) that crashed in Sioux City on July 19 of 1989, you'll get a damn clearer idea of the kind of conflagration that occurs in crashes even when the planes fuel tanks are near empty.

Have they givin any indication that there is any problem with this aircraft?

[Dog]

Just finished my shower before I logged on this thread.

[JackelopeBreeder]

A tank full of fuel ruptures and burns. A tank full of fumes explodes.

[Celtjew Libertarian]

Well... I'm at work, waiting for someone to return a page... He's going to call at the exact wrong moment. 8>)

[God luvs America]

The plane seems to be slowing down a bit.

[BurbankKarl]

the F16s and BIGFOOT are talking....I can only hear one side of the conversation....they said there is already a pair of planes tracking the 747...they are talking about where the handoff will occur.

[nwrep]

Am I logged on yet? :-)

[Cool Guy]

Cannot be Idaho. With one hour of flight time left, it must be over northern California.

[KillTime]

How come the map shows the flight line going over lower canada most of the way?

[Dog]

Thank you Karl.

Maybe they aren't intent on blowing something up this time, but rather on releasing something, i.e. chemical/biological attack.

Seems a little far fetched to me to use a commercial plane for that, but who knows?

[God luvs America]

welcome back

[Husker24]

Whats BIGFOOT?
