2. What's the point of having transponder codes for hijacking if they're so well published everyone is aware of them? The purpose of the codes was so that the pilot could communicate this information without the hijacker becoming aware of what was happening. I have always REALLY DISLIKED the now common practice of advertising this information. You're taking away one of the pilot's best tools...
Then you would probably consider it a good thing that the code he gave is not, in fact, the transponder code for hijacking. And no, I'm not going to detail what the correct one is. Go ask a pilot (such as the one living in my house), if you want to know. Pretty much all of them know it; even those who don't fly planes one could reasonably hijack. -- *************************************************************************** Joel Baker System Administrator - lightbearer.com lucifer () lightbearer com http://www.lightbearer.com/~lucifer
