I've x-posted to alt.disasters.aviation for some verification of this
'Psychic' claim.

Is Bertie the Bunyip in the house?

What kind of verification are you looking for?

pretty unlikely, for several reasons,

1. Lightning strikes are common. I've been hit a couple of dozen times
and only once was my airplane damaged in any way and that was very very
minor.
sometimes electronics get damaged, but it's rarely more than minimal
and never enough to bring an airplane down.

2. Computers are only used as a very last resort in avoiding collisons
and even then, never on the ground.

3. there are lots of back up systems on every airplane, some are pretty
primitive, but they're all more than enough to fly the airplane safely.
Air Force one would have more than the usual installations. The damned
thing is bomb proof.

4. It's Air Force one, for ****'s sake! They don't let anything move
within miles of it! It's a complete pain in the ass when the *******s
are in town. I was stuck on the ground for three hours once waiting for
one of the *******s to move and on another occasion I was delayed 12
hours (as a passenger) and the ******* didn't even land at the airport I
was going to! he landed at one 130 miles away at the last minute, the
original destination was a red herring! The point is, the airplane is so
well covered it's virtually impossible for it to get into that
situation.

5. How could it possibly be covered up, for ****'s sake?

It's so stupid a notion that if it were a movie I wouldn't watch it if
you paid me.

However, maybe you'd better ask MXSMANIC if he could simulate it on his
PC. That'd be the acid test

Bertie

Thank you kindly.

BTW, are you still taunting the 'nazis', as you call them?
