don. >> so, michael, you know, we have been hearing for over a week now that the air search will end soon. what are you hearing about that? are planes back up for several more days now? >> yeah. it's been strange really. we had heard that part of the search would have ended days ago, the search leader, angus houston, saying as much. of course, as we know, it has gone on. monday, the australian prime minister is expected to make a statement on the whole operation. and then hopefully, we'll learn there more about the plans for the whole search as well as that sea and air search. indications, of course, from both the aussie and australian prime ministers that the search itself will continue. you've been discussing this on your show, don. when you consider that after the air france crash in 2009, it took two years to get the black boxes. what we're seeing now could really be the beginning of a long process. searchers are hoping, of course, it doesn't take two years.
