The ICAO transponder emergency distress code is 7700 while hijacking is (I think??) 7200. There's also one for NORDO (No Radio) which I think is 7600. That would show or not, depending on the interrogator. I have no idea what kind of coverage (and with what equipment) the Russians have. Even the old(er) IFF on some Western military radars cannot always tell them apart. -- Mailman -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =-----
