You wouldn't need to necessarily connect the plane to the computer directly. It has a transponder or other signature used to identify it to friendly ground control, so that identifier is all you should need to link it to the information needed to provide potential parts replacement. I've been thinking about this for a long time for use in agriculture equipment, and I do this somewhat crudely with my car today. Of course, the key issue is tracking when the relevant parts get touched/changed that will mess up the normal operations. ast -- Andrew S. Townley <ast@a...> http://atownley.org
