[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] Which is, unfortunately, impossible to document reliably. In 1937 there were no unalterable computer timestamps to prove when a message was received. I want to trust these people, but I also know how far people will go to get on the news. At this stage of the game, petty recriminations won't find her, so those accounts can be noted with interest and then backburnered until the Electra is found. Then see if the details match any of the physical evidence. They left New Guinea and ran into a storm, which forced them to fly low and burn more fuel, and they had a headwind the entire rest of the leg, further reducing fuel efficiency and potentially throwing off Fred's position estimate. The account of the [i]Itasca[/i] radioman is pretty fascinating, too. In the end, her plane probably ditched less than twenty miles North of where the [i]Itasca[/i] was anchored. Moral: Wait for the weather to totally clear when doing risky flying. And carry redundant safety gear, weight be damned. --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
