Too much time on my hands, I guess.Ping pong balls of that era were 38mm diameter (1.5". Modern balls are 40mmor 1.57")10,000 of them would give about 206 lbs of displacement in sea water, notenough to keep an engine afloat, let alone an entire water-logged airplane.Corky's milk jug idea was a lot better.Mike Hardaway _____
