| PUBLIC SERVICE Part 6 - Richard Hayden
is president of AeroMechanical Services Ltd. in Calgary Alberta. His firm is
involved with the business of moving data off aircraft - lots of data. He explains
the possibility of moving up to 88 data points off an aircraft and where the data
could be sent - even to a CEO's cellphone. Mr. Hayden believes the world would
benefit from greater data flows off aircraft, especially in a crisis.

| PUBLIC SERVICE Part 4 - We discuss deep water recovery
with the pioneer of this activity, Dr. John Craven. Craven has had more
than 40 years of experience in the innovation, development, design,
construction and operational deployment of major oceanic systems. While
working with the Navy, he helped pioneer the use of Bayesian search
techniques to locate objects lost at sea (Bayesian search theory). He
was an instrumental part of the U.S Navy's search for the missing
hydrogen bomb lost off Palomares, Spain in the 1966 Palomares B-52
crash and in the search for the submarine Scorpion, lost off of the Azores.

| PUBLIC SERVICE Part 3 - We created a
document that adds considerably to the podcast in Part 2 below. The Part 2 podcast
has some statements which we are trying to clarify.
We have
the AF447 ACARS data in chronological order on a spreadsheet with input from
an A330/340 pilot based in Asia. The source is not
an Air France pilot. As with all our information, we are assembling the
best insight we can acquire given time constraints and a general news
blackout from the industry - which is understandable.

| PUBLIC SERVICE Part 2 of a series on the AF447 tragedy. We discuss the ACARS
data, line by line, with an avionics engineer familiar with the Honeywell
ACARS system. He explains the messages he understands (he is not with Air France
or Airbus) and gives the listener a perspective of what each message means.

| PUBLIC SERVICE Part 1 of a series on the AF447 tragedy. We discuss long haul over
water flights with an experienced commercial pilot, Doug Willey. Doug explains
the pre-flight procedures as well as how the flight tracks its route
from departure to destination, picking its way through weather.
