Just for clarity, please do not keep referring to 007 as "the Korean Airlines plane" that was shot down by the Russians.
They have shot down two, at least.
Flight 007 in 1983 was the second one.
The first was a 707, KAL flight 902 from Paris in April 1978. Friends of mine were on board that flight; through pilot skill and luck, they and their new-born baby survived.

Thank you.
