Has been a mainstay for marine patrol for various militaries around the world for literally decades. it has been updated with improvements in sensors and radar but one of the big advantages it has is it can spend hours upon hours on station looking, not only visually, but also with sophisticated radar. the fact the p-3s are out there from australia and new zealand i think is a very valuable asset and its entirely possible that any one of these air. assets could be the ones out there finding the ...

Back airborne. it appears they have been not doing a complete staggering but trying to stagger the various aircraft into the area so you dont have two p-3s and one p-8 on top of each other but have them bicycling in and out so there is a continued search. i think the australian authorities had a pretty confident belief that once they released this information that the aircraft going in were going to confirm what they believed and a fair amount of disappointment that after really raising hopes th...

Confidence. but that means that so far theres not that redundant confirmation of something floating there. and thats what the u.s. military is doing. theyre going to be, would have the ability, i did not get the flight times. they have the ability to stay in the area for four hours. so they will continue to do their sweeps in the area to find out whether indeed they are confirming what the satellite imagery suggests. so far they cannot do that. >> im sorry. so if they can stay in the air for fou...

Expertise. expertise that we dont believe that they had. so again, to the extent that the malaysians are willing to accept the help of a more capable and experienced partners, were more likely to yield the sort of information and results that we need. >> i want to bring van in to this. theres a video. im going to show him the video and i want you to explain what is going on. this could be very critical. its a sonar buoy. you see this plane and you see something come out. thats the buoy. explain ...

Long way south on the australian continent. so, john, you just dont have that maritime traffic, you dont have those busy sea lanes or, indeed, air corridors either. so, they do face problem after problem after problem. but they do have a lead, they have some very, very sophisticated devices. the u.s. are here with their most sophisticated surveillance planes, the p-8s, the poseidons, these long-range p-3s. theyre all workhorses, but theyve been rebooted several times and theyve got some pretty s...

Pingers, those p-3s are still pretty good. finding the black box. why malaysian officials say they may not be able to find it before it goes silent. plus, the indian oceans are the deepest, darkest oceans on earth. what crews will use to scour the floor of the ocean to search for clues. are you still sleeping? just wanted to check and make sure that we were on schedule. the first technology of its kind... mom and dad, i have great news.

Rest because they cant go immediately back up. what i am yesterday to determine is where the p 3s are staggering. im still trying to figure that out. it would make logical sense, especially since they can see with their advanced gear about 10,000 square miles. then they have a target area of where they believe this suspect debris is. so its not as if theyre now trying to focus on, as they were, an area that was 120,000 square miles. now theyre working an area which is slightly south of that 120,...

Weve been checking in with you every day. any luck today? any closer to finding this plane? >> yesterday we had another flight out of perth. this one went to the west. once again, no -- nothing associated with wreckage or debris. the ranges are increasing. so in one aspect, thats a positive that were getting out there more and more, but its still a challenge. even with the ranges, so what you have to realize is when youre flying these p-8s and p-3s, theyre flying a straight line then once out th...

Its not the united states alone, its not indonesia alone. were looking at it. i cant really give you any details on what happened on the ground there, but im confident were going to be flying if not today than very soon up in the northern sector. >> because thats pretty outrageous when you think about it. the search is desperate, every day is desperate out there. could be locating something, that p-3, that orion plane just wasting an entire day there on the ground because indonesia says it cant ...

Here, everybodys playing a role. and according to those officials that ive spoken to from the u.s. navy, its remarkable at how well everybody is working together. for instance, the u.s. navy has dispatched p-3 and p-8 anti-sub ra me submarine aircraft out of okinawa. and theyre going to kuala lumpur. the range is 1,000 miles. but they can search 10,000 square miles on each mission. theyre flying as many hours as they can get up and sort of -- because they havent found anything, what theyre doing...
