I suggest a more careful study of history - I think you'll find that the only thing people need to do to get along is simply to stop attacking each other. These are common people, who would never wage such wars, manipulated by ambitious and greedy rulers into hating an enemy such that they may command the support of an army of the people to win the power they seek. As soon as common people stop listening to the madmen who try to control the world, or when those madmen are replaced by kind, benevolent leaders, there are periods of incredible peace and prosperity. It is the influence of malicious leaders that drives people to war - nothing more.

How many years are there between 1981 and 1983 John? Just teasing. Lol.

I was wrong!
In double checking with my sources for my post on the circuit breaker for the overspeed warning in the Boeing 757/767 I found out that I was wrong.
In fact there is a circuit breaker for the aural warning. On the Boeing 757 it is on Panel P-11 and it is either B16 or H35. One of those is the overspeed warning and one is the cabin altitude.
Please accept my apologies for the misinformation I have posted on the overspeed warning. There is in fact a circuit breaker that can disable the overspeed warning.
For anyone that is interested in some proof of this they can view the CAA (UK) Check Flight Certificate document, which covers the full ground- and in-flight testing procedure for the B767-200. It also has performance climb and stall check speed charts and other useful bits of data.
The procedures relating to those pesky circuit breakers are on p.18 of this document.

I don't think it is unreasonable to suspect that they might be a little ahead of schedule.
Thanks again for your post.

If they are going slow enough you hear them first. Your friend's experience proves that they weren't going that fast. You said that they heard the plane a long time before they saw it and that it flew overhead. That means it was going a lot slower than 500 mph.

Real planes would be too risky. A real plane would have crashed against the building and fallen down in front of many eyewitnesses.

Where's the evidence that thousands of people heard planes?
