8.8.99 Aviation Expert-Kennedy Plane Had TWO Artificial Horizons! The following email received by NewsHawk indicates that aircraft like the one Kennedy was piloting have TWO "artificial horizon" systems--a electronic horizon which is the primary one, and a vacuum system as a backup. The American people really MUST acknowledge at this point that claims Kennedy's plane crashed due to the fact he was "disoriented" WILL NOT HOLD WATER! Statements to this effect made by government officials at many levels and propounded by mass media ARE LIES! How god-damn MUSH-BRAINED have we become??? John Quinn = = = = = = = = = = = = I worked on mainly commuter aircraft (Beechcraft 1900, otherwise known as a "stretch King Air"), and I do know those aircraft were required to have both a vacuum (air) operated artificial horizon & electronic horizon. It's been about 7 years since I last touched a plane, but I thought that the current FARs (Federal Aviation Regulations) in the basic air-worthiness certificate required an artificial horizon to have a primary and a backup. The 1900's had an electronic primary and vacuum secondary artificial horizon. The artificial horizon is basically a gyroscope in a housing with a needle to indicate the horizon. Your article is correct in that the losing artificial horizon argument is bogus. Mr. X = = = = = = = = = = = = Shoulder-launched Missile? We also received a note yesterday from someone who says that for a few days immediately after the Kennedy plane crash FOX-TV ran an interview with a Martha's Vineyard resident who was outside walking her dog at the time of the crash. She reported clearly hearing a noise she described as being like a "knife through sailcloth".. only of course much louder. Reprinted below is the email we received. John Quinn = = = = = = = = = = = = On Sunday and-or Monday following the incident, FOX NEWS had an interview they ran several times with a female resident that reported when she was walking her dog at the time of the incident, she heard a sound "like a knife cutting sail cloth" or something to that effect. This ran several times during the first three or four days. I don't know of many things that make a sound like that other than a knife through sail cloth or a hand held rocket.
