Subject: RE: BS: Pilot sues Boeing
Take the word of an "aircraft engineer with 40 YEARS EXPERIENCE..."

If I had to choose between the word of a pilot with 20 years experience and an engineer with 40, I'd listen to the pilot. If he's right, he dies.

The interview also talked about solid state rocket fuel, essentially a controlled explosion. Hawkins brought up the point that the fuel can be molded into a fuselage to look like just another component, and it wouldn't be ignited until its flashpoint was reached.

Like I said, these two have some new points to make, provocative, and it seems premature to dismiss this stuff.

I'd be curious to know, do any of you believe the Blackbird was the "fastest plane in the world" for half a century? That's what the U.S. govt tells us. Yet the aerospace industry never stops in its R&D. And NASA is the biggest money black-hole in the world. Those "$5,000 toilet seats" are really a $10 seat and a receipt for 5K. The other $4,990 goes to black-ops, likely as not NASA. I suspect the QRS-11 IS old technology to what's currently being produced in secret, but I also suspect that, in conjunction with other components, the QRS COULD be used as these men described. And if there's even a remote chance that a fleet of Boeing drone passenger jets is being created, doesn't that bother you? The below is the article from the first post...it describes the impossible-to-override auto-pilot. The article says it would make it impossible for another 9/11 to happen, but that's just flatly untrue. When the plane is out of the pilot's control, it is in SOMEONE'S control, or under the control of a computer that was programmed by someone. So the article is intentionally misleading. Intentionally. That, too, should raise some concerns. Why are they feeding you horseshit and telling you it's cake?

And, the Blackbird. Was that the fastest plan in the world for half a century?
