First off, a sonobuoy doesn't detect magnetic fields, a MAD boom does. It works pretty well with aircraft because you can hang the boom below the craft where it's own magnetic field doesn't bother it. This don't work too good with surface/sub crafts.
Secondly, everybody knows Natalee is in the dunes. Don't you get any news.

Air displaces water very efficiently.....and as far as the noise...well, the only command you get out of your mouth would be .."ah shiiitttt"......BOOOMMMM!

Which is totally irrelevant when it is moving over 200 miles an hour and tipped with a nuclear warhead which was the Soviet concept.
Thus my mention of the short distances involved.

Yes I do, and until I read or hear the news that her body was found in a dune, I don't know for certain where she is. If you do, go help dig her up.

actually the MAD booms are fixed to the aircraft themselves. and you have to do a MAD comp flight to cancel out airplane noise. those suck ass. :wink:
