Controls that understood the value of altitude control to eliminate the possibility of being spotted and tracked on radar, that took care of all of the warning devices and the informational devices in the cockpit and beyond. somebody that really had the ability to map out a route that would give them the very best chance of not being detected. that map out. that is the key. it would require a lot of skill and a lot of practice and i only know one pilot that weve been told about that has that kin...

Possible flight path and they were looking at the ocean on the one side as opposed to the northwest trail they could have taken they knew him and they were too embarrassed to say it? >> a half a day or show they were aware they picked up something on radar. how quickly that got reported to other nations. >> they are talking about one nation they involve search and rescue such as this. when you layer on a dozen nations and the u.s. we are getting precious little information and ability to cyst. w...
