: During the BA performance, they refer to "boards". Anybody know what that means?
: Also, before the show, I heard some kind of test on 238.15. A little bit after on 143.6 I heard them say that they did a test either on channel 10 or 16, and someone confirmed that the test was on channel 16. Also, they said if they talk on channel 16 again, they were going to do something different with their scanners.
The boards are speed brakes,kind of like flaps(which hang down)boards stick up to slow down and lose altitude fast.
