	Flying Finn (sports) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"The Flying Finn" was a nickname given to several Finnish middle and long-distance runners.
		The last Flying Finn in running was Lasse Virén, who won the 5000m and 10,000m events at the 1972 and 1976 Summer Olympics.
		The term then moved on to the next generations of Finnish rally drivers, and among others, the four-time World Rally Champions Juha Kankkunen and Tommi Mäkinen were often referred to as Flying Finns.

	David Finn: Dallas Texas Lawyer, Minors Using Alcohol, Juvenile Law, DWI Defense, Driving While Intoxicated
		In Texas, juveniles are defined as minors, older than 10 years of age and under the age of 17. Juveniles are treated differently than adult offenders and the general goal of the juvenile system is rehabilitation as opposed to punishment.
		Depending on the nature of the charges and the child's criminal history, if probation is not granted, the child could be sentenced to a term of confinement in the Texas Youth Commission.
		If a child is referred to the juvenile court for conduct constituting any offense and at the adjudication hearing (guilt/innocence) the child is found to be not guilty of each offense alleged, the court shall immediately order the sealing of all files and records relating to the case.

	USA: Below the radar: Secret flights to torture and 'disappearance' - Amnesty International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Amnesty International uses the term "rendition" to describe the transfer of individuals from one country to another, by means that bypass all judicial and administrative due process.
		However, the Chicago Convention holds that every state has the right to require that an aircraft flying over its territory must land at a designated airport for inspection if there are "reasonable grounds to conclude that it is being used for any purpose inconsistent with the aims of the convention".
		Given that the practice of rendition violates international human rights law, it follows that transferring or aiding and abetting in the transfer of a detainee in such circumstances cannot be a purpose consistent with the aims of the Chicago Convention, especially considering the internationally recognized, absolute prohibition of torture.

		FINN: Well, obviously it‘s intensifying so, you know, we are up at flight level 410, 41,000 to 45,000 feet. It looks a little bit different to us than it does for our NOAA P3s or the Air Force C-130s.
		FINN: They‘re very, very similar from my point of view up at that altitude. When we were flying it was obviously intensifying. The aircraft that were lower were reporting pressures dropping and, you know, it was just—it was obviously increasing.
		FINN: Actually we had two birthday boys tossing them out today and actually they don‘t toss it out of the window. We have a pressurized drop tube in the back of the airplane, so they drop them out every 15 to 20 minutes.
