		Korean Air Lines Inc., was filed in federal court in the Eastern District of New York on Sept. 6, 1983, five days after the flight came down.

		KAL attorney Harakas countered that Ephraimson-Abt had waived the argument that Flight 007 did not crash on the high seas by admitting to the contrary in the pretrial order, but that even without such a waiver, the argument was wrong on the facts.

	Air Power:Airlift and Transport Operations
		Airlift was not a mission concentrated on in the early years of flight, primarily because the small size of airplanes did not allow for large cargo or passenger loads.
		The first plane built to these specifications in the United States was the Lockheed C-130 Hercules, which debuted in 1954 with a floor at truck-bed height, reverse-pitch propellers for braking on short runways, and special tires to support landings on unpaved runways.
		Air reserve and national guard units were activated to help, as was the Civil Reserve Air Fleet--a fleet of commercial airplanes called to aid in the airlift.

		Korean Air Flight 7 (KAL007, KE007) was the flight number of a civilian airliner shot down by Soviet fighters on September 1, 1983, over Soviet territorial waters just west of Sakhalin island, killing all 269 passengers and crew.
		Korean Air Lines KE007 was a commercial Boeing 747 (registration: HL-7442) flying from New York City to Seoul's at-the-time main international airport in Gimpo, South Korea.
		This pattern repeated several times, until, in what appears to be a terrible coincidence, Flight 007 flew inbound on a track very close to the RC-135's inbound leg at roughly the time the plane should have re-appeared on their radars.

		Air Force commanders pushed for more massive bombing, but the joint chiefs, not wanting to rebuild another country or to gain reputations as terrorists, denied permission.
