I liked this part:
"At 0322, a United States Air Force (USAF) C-141 aircraft,
call sign RCH5414, responded to C-GKFJ's Mayday calls and
established communication with them. RCH5414 diverted toward
C-GKFJ's supposed position, and located the aircraft at 0431
using traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) equipment.
RCH5414 kept station with C-GKFJ, issued periodic track
corrections and distance to run to Gisborne until about 48 nm
from the Gisborne VOR, and departed for Christchurch, New Zealand."
One of the continuing unreported or underreported stories is
the help that the US military gives to people around the world.
There was a lot of reporting on the one year anniversary of
the big tsunami, and almost no mention that I saw that spoke
of the massive amount of help that various branches of the
military were providing the victims. I caught one report,
BBC IIRC, where a local Indonesian official was talking
about how much the US military was helping their city, and
he said they will never forget it. That's the way to win
hearts and minds.

GPS is wonderful if you just remember the ole computer term
"GIGO". Garbage-In-Garbage-Out.

My flight time over the ocean is not that great, but the terror that wells
up when one has been out of sight of land for hours and is uncertain of
their position is huge.
Particularly note the diagram at the end of this article. Imagine the
decision process / courage involved in making that greater than 270 degree
turn to the right.

PS: All pilots flying around IFR with out dated GPS data bases should read
this article.
