POSTED Jan 15, 2009Andy: "I have flown at the accident airport for
over 20 years. I knew 2 of the people that died that day. The use or
absence of transponders had absolutely no significance in the
accident. Had both aircraft been fitted with transponders it could not
possibly have made any difference. Please do some research so that you
have some understanding of the subject before you publish your
opinions."
