    Wasn't there a crash at Stanstead Airport by a Korean Air Lines cargo 747 in the 90's which highlighted that DU counterweights were still being used?

    Maybe but I think the thinking is no more were made with it, not that it was replaced.

    Still waiting for the "proof" you claimed to provide.


    First we need to establsih that you now know the difference between an altitude floor and an altitude ceiling. You seem to confuse the two. Until we establish that I'm wasting my time here.

    So you have no proof and try to insult me to evade the question. As i said you continually post crap. Thank you.

    Nice try, to try and turn things around and put me on the defensive. You claimed to have already provided proof in your previous post. I asked you where and when. You have ignored the question.
    I discussed the situation regarding altitude floors and the orders issued by Centcom pertaining to altitude restrictions. I also made the statement that it was a matter of public record.
    You, who was supposedly in a position to know by virtue of personal experience, made it plain that you didn't comprehend the difference between an altitude floor and an altitude ceiling.
    I wanted to clear up that point which is crucial to understanding the situation before wasting my time by rehashing what was previously posted.
    That brings us to the present.
    Please point to your "proof" that you claimed to have provided. I will find the links to sources for the Centcom orders of Jan 31 that I discussed in my previous post.
    Obfuscation and ad hominem as debate techniques will not succeed with me.
    Stick to the facts please or opinion that is clearly labelled as opinion.

    Locked until further notice.

    Please keep personalities out of the debate.
