Weedwhacker, I remember you writing in this thread that an FDR and CVR are not possible to falsify, because of the myriad of data to be altered.
I answered you that I remembered one case we discussed at this forum many years ago, where it was discovered that the black boxes (in this case orange) were switched by an air crash investigator on the scene, to later on to be able to blame the pilot for the crash, while in fact the new Airbus fly-by-wire computer system was the cause of the crash.
The crook and his bosses did not notice that a photographer took some pictures of him with the originally found black boxes standing beside his legs in a hilly, woody area at the crash site.
The later shown boxes were clearly not the same!
It took ten years to get that proof out, showing that real concerned Truthers their stamina and endurance is not to be underestimated.
Well, have a look at the story of the altered and falsified black boxes from Air France Flight 296, an Airbus A320-111 which crashed at an air show at Habsheim, France :
Date: June 26, 1988
Time: 14:45
Location: Habsheim, France
Operator: Air France
Flight number: 296Q
Route: Basel - Basel
AC type: Airbus A320-111
Aboard: 136 (passengers: 130, crew:6)
Fatalities: 3 (passengers: 3, crew:0)
Summary: The plane was scheduled to perform a series of fly-bys at an air show. The plane was to descend to 100 ft. altitude with landing gear and flaps extended. The automatic go-around protection was inhibited for the maneuver. During the maneuver, the plane descended thru 100 ft. to an altitude of 30 feet and hit trees at the end of the runway. The aircraft was totally destroyed by the successive impacts and violent fire which followed. The pilot allowed the aircraft to descend through 100 ft. at slow speed and maximum angle of attack and was late in applying go-around power. Unfamiliarity of the crew with the landing field and lack of planning for the flyby.

"Search for Air France Flight 447 victims ends; 51 bodies found."

Honeywell's black boxes want to be found, but people need to realize that the French are in charge of the search. They have to make it look good, but finding the black boxes is the last thing they want to do. Of course, Airbus is owned by more than one country, but they are assembled in France. As long as there's no black boxes, then the French government, who is closely involved with Airbus (one of the conflicts of interests created by socialism), can blame the crash on something relatively inexpensive to fix, like pitot tubes or software. The problem is the infamous standard Airbus vertical stabilizer connection to the fuselage. They rely on a software based limiter to protect the fragile connection. There have been many instances of the tail fin snapping off. Late last year, an Air New Zealand Airbus crashed in the Mediterranean, and it's vertical stabilizer was found floating in the Mediterranean, away from the other wreckage. It didn't make big news, as only the flight crew was on board. Once the vertical stabilizer snaps off, you'll get messed up speed readings, because the plane will go into a flat spin or a Dutch roll, so I think, with Flight 447, the tail fin snapping off was the beginning of the problem. Remember the French cover-up of Flight 296, where they switched the black boxes in order to blame the pilot instead of the Airbus. The switch wasn't discovered until 10 years later. Don't let the French get away with it for so long again!
This is a video of the low fly-by of the then new Airbus and then the computer systems did not allow the plane to rise from this stunt, over the trees, because its software thought the plane was in a landing procedure and could not be interrupted for safety reasons. They just forgot to implement such an event procedure in the software.
And The French were not very pleased to have to admit at the time, that the Airbus still had some intrinsic failures in it, so they falsified parts of the FDR and CVR, and then copied the "real original" FDR and CVR to two new boxes with a different outside hull pattern, easily to be analyzed from the pictures taken on the day of the crash when the original boxes were leaning against the legs of the air crash investigator.
Of course this air-show stunt was, as always, monitored from the ground, and the Airbus technicians immediately saw that the plane's software did not allow the pilots joy-stick inputs to lift the plane.
So they knew immediately that it was a plane's fault, and not the pilot's fault.
But they accused him immediately of making a faulty move, to cover up the companies fault, so they still could sell airplanes to the curious but still interested airlines all over the world.

Now, so many years later, you still have to read between the lines in those last words at the www.planecrashinfo.com site page.
""Unfamiliarity of the crew with the landing field and lack of planning for the flyby.""
Lack of planning, my butt. Of course they planned it meticulously, the selling of more planes was connected to these air-try flights.
It was the software's lack of solutions for this problematic situation.
This is Killtowns page about the black boxes (red) of UAL93 found in the crater.
Especially the Allied Systems to Honeywell switch is worth noticing, and Killtowns last sentence about that :

"" So how much you wanna bet officials will now say that Flight 93 had its CVR replaced in the 2 years before the attacks?! ""
