The equipment would take an estimated two years to develop, another four to install. Cost: a whopping $1 billion. But, as Air Force MATS Commander Lieut. General Joseph Smith says: "The cost of a mid air collision between one of our 6-473 and a passenger-laden Super-Connie could buy a lot of control." So far, the CAA has been reluctant...
