摘要
We argue that the so called long flying component (LFC) observed in some cosmic ray experiments are yet another manifestation of Levy distributions (with index q = 1.3), this time of the distribution observation probability of the depths of starting points of cascades. It means that LFC is governed by the so caned long-tail Levy-like anomalous superdiffusion, a phenomenon frequently encountered in Nature. Its connection with the so called Tsallis's statistics is also briefly discussed.
