You've got me lost. If there's something I need to know about navigational
issues which were of importance during a recent past please send netmail to
2:292/854 or email to wd-at-skynet-dot-be.
 
> ... anything about the loss of the Boeing over in Asia and all that?
 
You mean that Korean-707 which strayed over Russian airspace? Yes, it will
be in it ... not the Korean 747 though, thatone has been too widely
discussed to still be interesting.
 
There's a Belgian military C-119 shot down by British forces over Germany,
an AerLingus "Viscount" shot down by the British over the Irish
sea, an Israeli Constellation shot down by Bulgarian Migs, a 707-freigher
shot down during landing at Lagos (Nigeria), an Italian DC9 that was shot
down during a navy-exercise south of Sicily, an unarmed US C130 shot down
by Russia after having strayed from Turkish airspace. In all 12-13 imo well
researched cases but I'm not there yet. Not everybody likes to talk about
these occurences. For example the Pentagon releases nothing about that
Iranian A310 shot down by the Vincennes other than the press releases.
 
Talking to crash-survivors is an odd experience. Many of them feel guilty
for surviving.
