#1 Yeah once you stop heavily using most of the avionics equipment (like, when you're on the ground), they seem to cool down a bit.

Inshallah

#2 One time it took us 3 days to get to Barber's Point, HI from NASWI. took off, nav system went TU, landed in North Island. RON #1.

Took off again Nav sys crashed, landed in Alameda. RON #2. Took off, nav system failed at the 55% distance waypoint, did DR to BP ( glad island hadn't done the continental drift thingie).

As a bonus, the day after we landed in BP the big 1989 earthquake took out the Alameda hotel we were staying in.

So multiple emergency landings can happen.

#3 But EgyptAir ruled out a mechanical issue within the first minute or two and they would have nothing to hide, right?

Suggesting an explosion must be because of terrorists assumes nothing on board would otherwise explode which seems dubious when there is jet fuel and 3rd world maintenance involved.

And still no terrorists have claimed credit.
