Looks like a curse is spelled on all Round-The-World-Balloons.
Had a second glimpse at Pensacola Naval Air Museum.
They shifted airplanes around a little bit, but nothing spectacular
new since my last visit.
Watched the IMAX film "Magic of Flight" there (also shown at the
Smithsonian), highly recommended (basics of flight, the Wrights,
close-ups of carrier take-offs and landings and the Blue Angels.
On a HUUUUGE screen - breathtaking).
BTW, got a V.34+ up and running.

assistant: Great place to view the old ones.  Hwy 90 south of town take the
Lackland exit.  When you are going southbound turn east into the Wilford
Hall Hospital area.  The entire parade ground is an excellent viewing
area.  If you then go to the west base you will find the newer A/C on
display  F-4, F-5 etc.  Go over to the Kelly side and somewhere around
the center of the base is a display area.  While there ask about the XC-
99.  The last time I saw it was there at the large hanger and it was
stripped of paint and they were working on it or planning to work on it.
Randolph has a display area to the left after you go in the main gate.
That would be the north side of the base.  There only the ATC (Ops
pardon me AETC Air Education Training Command) aircraft are on display.
Have a great viewing trip.  The Lackland one is the best
however.....Jim....

        I have a picture here that came across my desk this morning of a
Navy Crusader landing on the John F Kennedy.  The hook hasn't caught the
wire yet, and the wing is in it's raised position, but what caught my
eye was a round device that looks like a window fan deployed from the
starboard side of the AC.  If this is a RAT of some sort why deploy it
during what looks like a routine landing (no smoke, no fire, aircraft looks
rather new, tail number 148677, nose number 215)?

Write your reply.

assistant: NTSB PART IV
The Structure of NTSB Investigations:
   There are two kinds of NTSB Investigations: Field Office
   Investigations and Headquarters Investigations.
Field Office Investigations
Fatal General Aviation Crashes, as well as some Air Carrier and Commuter
Accidents with relatively lminor injuries, are often investigated by a
single field investigator from one of the NTSB's Regional Offices.  If
necessary, this investigator has access to technical experts at The
Bureau of Technology at the NTSB Headqaurters in Washington, D.C., the
FBI and other federal agencies.  He can also obtain consultation from
any commercial operator involved or manufacturer of the airplane or its
subcomponent parts.  Traditionally, the Field Investigator utlizes the
assistance of a Flight Standards and/or Air Traffic Control
representative from the FAA Regional Office or facility involved.
==========================================================
Note: Above where he says the investigator "can obtain consultation from
any commercial operator involved or manufacturer of the airplane or its
subcomponent parts."
   How does this strike you?  Do you think these people have a SPECIAL
   INTEREST or do you thing they will give this investigator the TRUE
   word on the cause, if they know what caused it, or do you think they
   will hedge?
