Deskins:  Do you have a mode 3 on it?

Cooper:  No, no.

Deskins:  A mode 3 code?

Cooper:  It’s just a primary target only, we lost, ah, we lost the, ah, mode, the mode C on it, so you’d have to get up in the air and we’d have to vector you towards the aircraft.

Deskins:  Ok, so you’d want’a control the intercept, because—

Cooper:  We’d have to, yeah.

Deskins:  You’d have to, right.
