Feeling Safe in the Air Yet?
Read full story here.A hijack-proof piloting system for airliners is being developed to prevent terrorists repeating the 9/11 outrages.
The mechanism is designed to make it impossible to crash the aircraft into air or land targets - and enable the plane to be flown by remote control from the ground in the event of an emergency.
Scientists at aircraft giant Boeing are testing the tamper-proof autopilot
system which uses state-of-the-art computer and satellite technology.It will be activated by the pilot flicking a simple switch or by pressure sensors fitted to the cockpit door that will respond to any excessive force as terrorists try to break into the flight deck.

Hi David,
Chris is getting married in the summer to an American girl. We are all flying out to the States for the wedding.
Praying all goes well for your wife and the family.
Yours,
Mike
PS. Good to see you have re-started blogging.
By the way, have you seen what's going on over here with the Sexual Orientation Regulations?
Look on America and weep for us!!!
Thanks, Mike. Good to hear from you. That's great about Chris and the visit to the States. If you're in or near Southeast Tennessee, look me up! :-)
Yeah, I'm working on easing back into the blogging routine. It's quite a bit tougher than before with my schedule, but I'm getting there. Take care and keep in touch.
