Yes, sounds good... I still have to reformat the info you sent me (months) ago as well. I will be getting to all that shortly, as well as some other lists/info I have marked off on books I have read.
Thanks for the PING, nwctwx...had to step back from the THREAT MATRIX for a bit, but I'm ready to return! Don't have anything to 'report' so I'll just lurk while "coast watching."
thank you!
Thanks for the ping.
Great job, this is the most informative thread on FR!!
News Break - Report that a Virgin Airline Flight 45 from London to NY is sending out a signal that the flight has been hijacked. It is approx. 10:25 a.m. EST on Friday June 3rd. The flight has been diverted to an airport in Canada. There has been communications with the pilot who is saying that the signal is a manfunction and that the cockpit is secured.
I will be checking for official news reports and posting a link as soon as I find one.

Jet's Signal Being Investigated
A New York-bound Virgin Atlantic flight is transmitting a hijacking code, although the company says it is a mechanical error. Canadian fighter jets have been sent to intercept the plane, which has been diverted to Canada.
Thank you for the ping!!
I don't have a TV yet so please let me know what's happening!!
When I heard this reported last night it just didn't "feel" right....just sounds very odd. An additional report this morning stated that these French Fighter jets were on their way to an air show....so it all just makes me wonder...what in the world are a foreign countries fighter jets doing in our air space???
How could they not have enough money to refuel? It's not like they have to go down to the nearest Exxon and put it on Cirac's credit card. That's bizzare.
Ummmm.....I know that it is France and that could make this scenario amusing....but wouldn't some jet fuel for 10 fighter jets be a matter of a phone call from the French government to our government???!!!!
Ok, that is really weird!!
10 fighter jets for an airshow? I didn't think France had that many in working order. lol
Seriously though I would think DHS would check this out pronto. What airshow? Background check on the pilots etc.
And no money for fuel??
Per FOX: Plane has landed in Halifax.
Thank you Ian. The new links (map, etc.) are a great addition.
I think a link is just fine, so long as it doesn't go away completely. I find it to be a helpful resource. It looks great and any tweaking you do will be greatly appreciated.
Now the problem is everyone is waiting for officials from the French embassy to show up with money to buy more gas.
The French planes are here for the air show at McGuire this coming weekend. We look forward to seeing them there..
