That isn't Air Force One. That's the new 787 cabin that United is using. Air Force One doesn't have seating like that.

Would they use CRT monitors?

Considering the notion that new smart tv's like to spy on ppl, i could surely see them reverting back to the good ole days

I'm sorry if these rally posts are off topic.. but the thousand points of light is a well known conspiracy theory.. I felt it relevant..

Good find. So a plane was shot down and they are monitoring the web for chatter on the results?

In a commercial airliner, tv's that spy are income for the airline. They have no qualms using flatscreens as it is; why revert to heavy, inefficient monitors in a commercial airliner?

a reply to: pteridine

Yes. A CRT actually can work better in an aircraft cabin. You can see the image better from all angles, with less glare on the screen. They can also get them cheaper since there isn't much call for a CRT anymore.

a reply to: IAMTAT

ohhh no.
Don't make me flip back to my first fear that someone was paid off in the FBI, and that is why the Dems were pushing for that.

ETA: But we should also keep in mind that Rosenstein is likely being closely watched after the other recent developments.

Maybe that is what the social networks will use. Splash1 means something or somebody was shot down. Could this refer to the plane that went down on Ketron Island? Drop 1846 11 Aug and 1869 14 Aug

My point exactly... but one would assume you would not want known spying devices on a government aircraft....

The claim was made that it was a new Boeing commercial plane. I asked if it was a Clinton era AF1 configuration which hinted at Clinton being the Splash1 shootdown.

a reply to: pteridine

Oh, I don't know what that means. Sorry if I got off track, I thought the debate was over if it could be a new AF1 model.

Splash is a military callsign used with the Aberdeen Proving Grounds.

a reply to: Jusvistn

The VC-25 replacement hasn't even started modification yet.

'Splash1' is a pilot call when a plane is shot down. 'Splash' is a call when an artillery round hits.

a reply to: pteridine

Yes, I know. It's also a commonly used callsign by the helicopter unit at Aberdeen. Exactly what aircraft was shot down that there would be a splash call?

a reply to: pteridine


That better not be about a certain executive flight from West Virginia today!

a reply to: Creep Thumper

Here and wide awake (now)... had to drive a long way to and back from a birthday party... beer(s) tomorrow hopefully.

Almost caught up, so will get with checking decodes on new posts soon.

One thing that stuck out to me on airplane post was (Des_TFC).

I presume this means destination and airport code TFC is Taormina in Sicily.

ETA - Multi-tasking watching "Journey's End" about life in the trenches in WWI where one of the officer's is caught reading Alice's adventures in Wonderland!!
