Sorry, I just can't stop myself. Read your quote here:

"You are making little if any sense. You are rambling."

And then read your quote here (which appears just a few lines after your first quote):

"The numbers in the charts don't do a damn thing beyond that other than tell us that there was a nominal half mile vertical differenctial between the two objects and the scale in the plan view shows a mile plus or minus differential though the actual cable length is much more than that being similar to a catenary."

Whaaat?

Just admit that you lost the battle. You are now only an Elmer parrot. He was reduced to only copying other posts and you are now doing the same. Goodbye. It was fun while it lasted but the best engineer won. You are a laughingstock who tried to back up the NTSB lies but then contended that the NTSB data was flawed. No shit, Dick Tracy. You are now in my camp. Now that we agree with each other we could team up and fight the other creeps who lie. Once you admitted that two returns were within a twelve second time span, you joined my discovery that something was rotten in Denmark. Relative to engineering, this game playing is out of my normal field since I specialize in dome design. But I imagine that my trig calculations are a bit better caliber than yours. I don't work in numbers with less than ten place accuracy. That got to be a joke at work. When I retired sixteen years ago as the manager of R&D, I was given a plaque which showed my time with the company out to a zillion places. But my intent was to prevent cumulative error.
