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 it's entirely possible that any one of these air. assets could be the ones out there finding the debris. authorities are looking into both the pilot and his first officer for more clues as to wh...

Back airborne. it appears they have been not doing a complete staggering but trying to stagger the various aircraft into the area so you don't 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 that there was some evidence of debris floating on the water that there is no confirmation of that by...

Confidence. but that means that so far there's not that redundant confirmation of something floating there. and that's what the u.s. military is doing. they're 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. >> i'm sorry. so if they can stay in the air for four hours over that target area, how long have they been there so far do we know? >> i don't know ...

Expertise. expertise that we don't 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, we're more likely to yield the sort of information and results that we need. >> i want to bring van in to this. there's a video. i'm going to show him the video and i want you to explain what is going on. this could be very critical. it's a sonar buoy. you see this plane and you see something come out. that's the buoy. explain what happens as it enters the water and you see a series of steps that unfold. >> all right. s...

Long way south on the australian continent. so, john, you just don't have that maritime traffic, you don't 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. they're all workhorses, but they've been rebooted several times and they've got some pretty strong technology on board. so, technologically, if they can be found, you've got the right asse...
