    Shine ----that's a tuff question as all the required runway length figures that we work with are bashed on accelerate / stop distances for having adequate length to stop in the event of an engine failure right at V1 speed-----and also obsecal clearance with an engine failure at over V1 that would clear 35 feet IIRC--------Probably anything over 5000 ft on an average temp day( a little headwind helps) would get you airborne-----------


    With the hiarchies that still exist between military/civilian ------I don't think that we would successfully get it stopped because we can't intercept every 77 headed our way----I don't think the leadership exists in our government(probably no one else except the Isralies)

    Take a look at that simulator set up---------
    You could probably get into the system and copy what he had been practicing which in this case of B777 you'd have all the navigation points---------------

    i'm sure it is in the sea somewhere but if it turned up in africa i would not be surprised. the going silent and turning just makes no sense to me.

    seems like the unofficial official report is UFO took them------------------


    I still say look toward the west---maybe Sir lanka?--------but a straight west from area of question along a ling about 5 degrees north of the equator would take them to Somolya--------------


    I also saw something this morning about them raiding the captains home------------hope they don't screw up the evidence of what he was practicing on that simulator----------

    They need to check the fuel load on the airplane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!they will probably find that it had an extra 3 or 4 hours-----no problem for captain to get more than needed for the flight---------In fact many flights carry a huge overload of fuel so they don't have to pay extra high costs in some other countries--------------(China jet fuel costs more than Malaysian fuel?)


    And it looks like data is pointing to my theory of it being flown west---probably along a line of 5* north lat headed past SirLanks/India toward Somolya/Yemen----------

    It is pretty crazy how that plane just vanished. That is a pretty thing to dissappear. I guess only time will tell at this point. Definitely a tragedy to all that may have family on that flight. I can't imagine that it dipped into the ocean without some sort of debris on the surface of the water from impact. It's probabaly under a moss covering hidden by some thugs...................

    They mentioned on the news this morning that one of the places the plane could have gone was New Zeland.

    It's already been painted with Air New Zealand logos, have to keep our national airline up to date somehow. :-)
