"Just admit that you lost the battle."

You have failed to provide evidence of a 30 knot sub, a 1995 Standard KKV missile test, or a target towing P-3. Your analysis of radar data relies on plots of numbers we both agree are faulty at best. That leaves you with nothing. As far as I'm concerned, there was no battle. You never even showed up. Earlier you said you were an aeronautical engineer. It became very obvious that was not true, and I find dome designing much more believeable. I imagine that is a very complex field of work. Next time I have questions concerning dome design, I'll know who to come to.

The next time that you are in Boulder CO you could stop at the Fiske Planetarium at the U of CO. I was the sole engineer on that design. I did not design the South Pole dome but was involved in its erection. Or, in Long Beach, I was the principal engineer on the world's largest clear span dome made of aluminum. If you would like to have the geometry calculations for a dome a bit larger than the Astrodome in Houston, I prepared them seven years ago while sitting at home. My software was used on domes now being built in China and the rest if Asia. I am sorry that our NTSB is flawed because it could be much better if not mired in politics rather than science.
