first of all, to get to it from the cabin area. you d have to take them they re in the back of aircraft. they d have to be taken out, brought forward. the best way take it out of the aircraft would to take it to the equipment bay and drop it overboard through the outflow valve, which is in the bottom of the bay. that would be about the only way you could do it. again, it would be extremely difficult if not impossible to get it from the tail of the aircraft into the interior of the aircraft. professor stupples, i wonder about your level of optimism. we were hearing a lot of it from air chief marshall houston, also from the prime minister tony abbott. the p3 orion has been modified to pick up these sounds, and the signals they re picking up are not at 37.5 kilohertz, which is the frequency at which the pinger locator emits the pinger.
