Being a privat pilot myself, I was fascinated by the story of AF Flight 447 from both a human and technical point of view, since many times, a combination of these two factors would eventually lead to an unpleasant situation.
greenyoda, what do you require to assign a colour to Austria? I could maybe help you out here doing some research according to your criteria.
One of the last major "freedom initiatives" in Austria was our government's decision to abolish the data retention law on Juli 1st to comply with EU law - a small victory for data protection activists.
Solid points, dbrian! Also reminds me of Julian Assange.
And the lesson I took from my comment: never ever post a link to your own website (even if there's relevant content behind it), people here seem to immediately think of spam and downvote :(
This documentary about AF Flight 447 is the best I found so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsgyBqlFixo
...including the last words of the pilots.
