More Blackbird Trivia

It would be intercepted and identified, as are all other unidentified
targets.

I know the F15 can make it up that high.. im not sure about some of the
other interceptors..

Hopefully one of the controllers will chime in here and tell us what the
proceedure is if an unidentified aircraft is detected approaching the US
above FL600. It is probably greeted with a missle.

Nothing that I have seen or you have posted says that "international
airspace" begins at FL600 and anybody is free to overfly anywhere above this
altitude.

A practical definition of "space" is the lowest altitude where objects can
orbit which is around 100km.

What document and organization put forth this number? What nations have
agreed to it? What happens if a non-signator violates it? What court

has

jurisdiction?

I think space begins by agreement at 100km or something like that.

No, the ABC airspace only goes up to FL600 but that does not imply

that

the

underlying country does not own and control airspace above FL600.

Airspace

above FL600 is class E airspace in the US. Try flying over China

above

FL600 or ask Gary Powers if you want more.

Where do satellites fit into this definition?

Or, rather, where does international outer space begin?

They've got the A-12 at the Boeing museum, and you can sit in the
cockpit
of one that wrecked.

Never heard of a Boeing museum.

Maybe you mean the Museum of Flight, located at Boeing Field near Seattle?
They have one.

Yeah, sure, whatever. Pedantic Zero you are cleared to f'k off. ;

There's also the Boeing restoration facility at Paine Field. Many of the
projects that go to the BOEING MUSEUM are restored there, and admission is
free.

However, the Museum of Flight (found at Boeing Field) does have a
restoration facility at Paine Field. Maybe that's the one you're thinking
of?

Admission to the Museum of Flight is free the first Thursday of every month.

The International Court of Surface To Air Missiles.

LOL! I hear the judges there have rather explosive tempers too! Best not
to go to that court. Well, some might say *just* sending your attourney
would be a good start!
