Topic: KAL 007 shootdown


  
  Korean Air Flight 007 Encyclopedia Article @ LaunchBase.net (Launch Base)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
KAL 007 flew westward and then arced south on a course for Seoul-Kimpo International Airport that took the craft much farther west than usual (allegedly on a 245 degrees magnetic heading), cutting across the Soviet Kamchatka Peninsula and then over the Sea of Okhotsk towards Sakhalin, violating Soviet airspace over a significant distance.
As KAL 007 overflew Soviet territory, the Soviets scrambled Su-15 'Flagon' and MiG-23 'Flogger-B' fighters to intercept it.
It is generally believed that KAL 007 was mistaken for a USAF RC-135 that was flying a routine electronic intelligence mission northeast of Kamchatka at about the same time.

 KAL 007 The Questions Remain Unanswered, by Robert W. Lee
That KAL 007 was not "destroyed" by the rocket attack on impact is continued by the fact that KAL 007 made a brief, but garbled, radio transmission after the attack.
In The KAL 007 Massacre, for instance, author Franz Kadell asserts that what appeared "to be a part of the vertical section of the plane's tail" measured "32 by 28 inches." Whatever its measurements, it was virtually microscopic compared to the huge chunks of wreckage usually associated with an airline disaster.
After all, KAL 007 was a gigantic machine standing 63 feet 5 inches high, measuring 231 feet 4 inches from nose to tail, with a wing span of 195 feet 8 inches, and weighing over half a million pounds before adding fuel, passengers, crew, cargo and baggage.

The revelations were severely damaging to the image of the Soviet armed forces, and the articles were crudely attacked by Soviet hardliners within the military, and by KGB chief Kryuchkov himself.
As the end of the flight neared, 007 radioed Tokyo ATC for permission to climb from 33,000 to 35,000 feet (a standard fuel-economy technique once the airliner grew lighter).
Once this was established, Tokyo cleared 007 and the airliner replied that it was immediately beginning the climb.

They also helped organized the "Minutemen," a paramilitary group training to lead guerrilla warfare once the Communists took over."
A later John Birch Society chairman, US Representative Dr. Larry McDonald, was killed in the 1983 KAL-007 shootdown.
By the time of Welch's death in 1985, the Birch Society's membership and influence had declined, but the the UN role in the Gulf War and President Bush's call for a "New World Order" unwittingly echoed Birch claims about the goals of the internationalist One World Government conspiracy.
