I have sent six of the more important hoses to Precision Hose Technology. I
am having them made out of the Teflon.

Hi All,
I know this is probably inappropriate for this list but I need some help from
our European Members. This is the only list I know of that has that much reach.
I bought a Swedish Air Force Scottish Aviation Bulldog last January. It is
equipped with a single Becker COM and a Single Becker NAV. I don't know if you
guys have worked with Becker, but this 30 year old COM kicks some SERIOUS butt
on transmision quality. If I could only afford new Beckers I'd be set.
The NAV is the issue. It works perfectly except it doesn't have a Glideslope
and I can't add one to it. It was built with or without GS internally. I can't
seem to justify to my wife that I should rent an aircraft now that I own a good
one.
So does anybody on the list know of a used BECKER nav with glideslope and
Indictator for sale somewhere in the world?
Let me know off list or on,
Fran Myers

Got this from an African news service. FYI.

Washington - The United States and several African nations are busy looking
for a Boeing 727 passenger jet stolen in Angola last month, fearing it could
fall into terrorist hands, The Washington Post said on Wednesday.
The Central Intelligence Agency and the state department have joined in the
continent-wide search for the aircraft US authorities said was likely stolen
from the airport in the capital Luanda as part of a business dispute or
financial scam.
A less likely, but far more chilling scenario, is that the plane was either
stolen by terrorists or could end up in their hands for a possible September
11-type attack somewhere in Africa, US officials told the daily.
The 28-year-old jetliner was stolen from under the noses of Luanda airport's
control tower on May 25 and has not been sighted since. It had been parked
at the airport for 14 months.
US spy satellites have taken pictures of remote airstrips throughout Africa,
including those at a half-fuel-tank's distance from Luanda's "4 de
Fevereiro" airport. US diplomats have travelled across Africa seeking the
aircraft.
"I haven't come across this before in 22 years in this business," said Chris
Yates, a civil aviation security analyst for the private Jane's Aviation
service.
"It is not a stretch to think this plane could end up in the hands of
terrorists. A number of companies involved in gun running 'other crimes' in
Africa have indirect ties to various terrorist groups," he added.
Flown by American Airlines for decades, the 47m 90 700kg jetliner was later
owned, leased or subleased by a number of people and companies, with the
Miami-based Aerospace Sales and Leasing Co its current owner.
Angolan state radio said shortly after its disappearance that it had been
chartered by the Angolan airline Airangol but was grounded after being
banned from overflying Angolan territory on account of a series of
irregularities. - Sapa-AFP

There is a rumour that this 727 was repossessed, not stolen.
However, the concern over it's possible use, if stolen, is indeed a worrying
thought.
