How interesting, the response to a jest.

This if off topic, but, in the course of the jest, please recall that there was NO visual ID in the Vincennes / AB300 incident, and while there was a VISUAL ID in the KAL 007. Given that we were talking about pictures, do you wonder at why I said it thusly? "since our Russian readers might not recoginze a commercial aircraft" (again, this is a jest) which might imply actually looking at an aircraft with a Mk 1 Mod 0 eyeball.

By the way, Zorin, you will find that KAL 007 was a Boeing aircraft- a 747. (Does it occur to you that this is why I put, in parens, the bit about it not being an A330?) Your attempted riposte might have worked better with an understanding of the facts.

In any case, Clandestino posted nice pics, so off we go, back to the discussion about ... an Airbus 330 that tied the low altitude record over the Atlantic Ocean. (And perhaps setting a record for negative altitude? )
