The problem is, from my experience at Roosevelt Roads, the Navy never conducts live fire exercises without declaring the area of operation strictly off limits to non-military aircraft. Also, the 747 would have shown up WITH ITS TRANSPONDER DATA on the screens on an Aegis ship, so why would they fire? And, I didn't think that a P3 pilot would fly around in
This has happened before; an Aegis ship in the Persian Gulf shot down an Iranian Airlines (or whatever it's called) aircraft; i'm not sure how many died in that incident (i think about 70 - can very well be wrong). The US just "apologized" for the mistake AFAIK. - -Angelos PS. This happened 8-10 years ago if i recall well. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.4, an Emacs/PGP interface iQCVAwUBMim0Lr0pBjh2h1kFAQF8AwP8CHSR3sz4tWUbulIWyYgpULLJHtFD3Wag KQx7t+nWyt78TWvZzsFwgGhD295+Ki3PTUGPlWHqO1p0SftReHXuNqOqYXY6EI1p S7eSrrML2YbUTlJ7GLgPCwYEwaeHuyFUNRHoIwmFBLjDnlJZRhKYhhomw5k7EKvl mwU6daPDCiY= =u9kk -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
