When the flight track spells out "Airbus" you know these guys have too much time on their hands.

Search FOR KELLEHER then click the 'Live' button. Currently orbiting just northeast of Yuma, over the Kofa NWR.

Original link is not working for me. "FlightAware couldn't find flight tracking data for KELLEHER just yet."?

"This first flight of the Zephyr S aims to prove and demonstrate the aircraft capabilities"
which include finding a new topic to include in the Guinness Book of Records. Enough reason for the average MH370 posting. I wonder if the OP receives remuneration for posting or if it's a hobby.

"Local persistence"? Who thinks this stuff up?

Heh! I used to work as a technical translator. When I received a new text to translate, my first job was to read it though and highlight elements that didn't make sense. Then I'd go to the engineer who wrote it and with a smile say, "This part is vague or doesn't say anything. What were you trying to say?" After a laugh we'd improve the original text. I like to think that the final product in English was better than the original French.
