Where's the military connection
Oh for God's sake artist, do I have to spell it out?
In 1988
(3 yrs before GW1) I believe that a British Airways 747
(like the one used to get SF into Kuwait in GW1), was overflying Indonesa
(well, Indonesia has a military and we sell them Hawks), when they flew through what their radar
(military invention) said was cloud, but in actual fact was
vulcano dust.
All engines stopped, and I believe that after loosing 20,000 ft
(as high as a Tornado can get), they were able to get restarts
(Flt Ops Officers).
Aircraft upon arrival at Perth
(RAAF base somewhere near there), required all four engines to be changed
(regular feature of SA charters)
Does anyone have a copy of the CVR of this incident.
Thanks and regards
