Flying and aviation stuff

on the video in the background, there is a prius (c) i think @ 54 seco stock footage...

 

CNN made a change. When I first saw it the article began with a picture and a caption that it shows a Prius Li-Ion battery. (This of course shows what they don't know, only the Plugin Prius has Li-Ion). It is now a video without a caption, but the picture is in the video.

 

I was reading through a PC, and no Prius. They may have edited the piece.

i was just watching cnn, all they talk about is how much we don't know. but they just keep going on and on...

 

Even MSNBC, with probably the most sane coverage, still spends an hour on virtually nothing. You have to change the channel on stuff like this.

 

How about the North American XB-70 Valkyrie?

I was astonished to find this futuristic Mach 3+ aircraft was designed in the 1950's!

 

The B52 is also from the 1950's (all of its original electronics were vacuum tube), but it's STILL flying TODAY.

 

Flying mach 2-3 was easy in 50's due to oil prices. We didn't have to drive hybrids back then either.


Coming back to the original topic: how many believe the mystery will never be solved?

 

"Never" is a long time....

 

Uh, Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan, and their Lockheed 10E Electra, are STILL missing.

 

There has never been a cooler-looking plane than the Blackbird. I'd never seen this picture of it before, though - thank you!

I think national secrecy has played a big part in slowing down the search. I'm sure drones could be doing a great job, but they've chosen not to use them, presumably for security reasons.

 

Maybe not never, but I'd be surprised if they found it any time in the near future now.

 

I don't know but this article says there's over 80 aircraft that have vanished since 1948 and nothing from any of them has ever been found:

...Re: MH370, it now seems to me whoever did it (I am thinking the pilot) did a soft landing to eliminate debris. Seems like further analysis of the satellite data eventually suggests a fairly tight end location. Coundn't they send another plane to map out where the pings must have come from?

 

Why send an AIRPLANE when a SUBMARINE could do a much better & longer-duration search listening for that "ping"...remember, subs have LOTs of "listening" devices with which to track, monitor and locate OTHER submarines with.

 

They started this yesterday, but really it should have happened sooner.

A day late...and a billion dollars short?

 

Submarines/submariners are not equipped to hear the 37.5 kHz ping.
