Malaysia flight 370 Where is it?

[WarToad]

It's illegal to own a flight simulator?

WOW

I would suspect they siezed it for forensic analysis to see what recent flight activity he was doing on the simulator.  Might be clues to what he was planning, if he was.

I've been looking into purchasing a PLB (Personal Locating Beacon) since I started Hiking along with also rekindling my interest in Mountain Biking and Running.   

The Government here have a half decent page about the very issue:

Distress Beacons

I can buy a PLB for around 360 USD.

I presently have a wrist watch that can track my every movement via GPS SATS in ORBIT along with Software which cost me the grand sum of 150 USD as evidenced in my Hiking Thread HERE:

Image showing what my 150 USD GPS RECIEVE wrist watch showed after uploading data receive point's it received from SATS to a well known mapping service called Google Earth.   



Oddly I err on the side of thinking Aircraft don't get lost in this day and age.  Heck I could spend less than 1000 USD and be totally confident that someone may find me to bury me from an "Inland Taipan Snake Bite" with low level off the shelf technology

Remember when Steve Fosset vanished?

He normally had THREE GPS tracker beacons. One built into the plane (which malfunctioned that day) one he always put on as a spare( which he 'forgot' that day) and one expensive wrist watch GPS tracker (which he neatly places on his dresser top that day)



His plane was found way off course (beyond his fuel range) about a year later with a piece of ID (like the 9/11 majic passport) and a piece of shirt with a trace of blood and hair on it.


Makes ya go HMMMMMM

it was a home made simulator




Yesterday, Malaysian police searched his house in the upmarket Kuala Lumpur suburb of Shah Alam, where he had installed a home-made flight simulator. But this newspaper can reveal that investigators had already spent much of last week examining two laptops removed from Shah's home. One is believed to contain data from the simulator

and now it's hitting the main news....interesting


Zaharie posted photos on Facebook showing a flight simulator outfitted with three monitors, and a pilot who had flown with him before described him as an "aviation tech geek" to NBC News.

Yes it was, and a very comprehensive one too. He had all the stuff I have ever wished I could afford right in one room and working!

This particular case involves aspects of pretty much everything that interests me. vis a vis I am a private pilot, (sadly with zero multi engine turbine time as of yet), and occasional practicing aircraft engineer and I had a computer consultancy in the 1990's PLUS I do the radio control stuff... I THINK looking at his PBY model that he even had it fitted for FPV...

I feel like this guy is my (admittedly more accomplished) Malaysian brother...

And I want to know what has happened to him.

Malaysia are on what some would call OUR side!

Quick DSTO and Malaysia Google search prove that

The nutritional, physiological and psychological status of a group of British sappers after 23 days of adventure training in the hot wet tropics

The study was conducted in association with Exercise Pelopor Finn (meaning "trail blazer", EX PF) an adventure training exercise conducted by a British engineer unit (25-Engineer Regiment) in Sabah, Malaysia.

SO Malay is a Friendly Country even though it's Muslim

Yeah that's always been a weird case.  And it become's even weirder when one can use some of the mil tech in off the shelf product's.

and now this....
you know when that many folk perrish at once you can feel it..i don't think they died..
i think the gov's know exactly what happened and are working something behind the scences
what..? is anyones guess


after reading about the politics of the pilot and  that of the gov.. i think that  he was using this
plane and people as a ransom and that he left  his demands with the gov that the current
ruler, who he felt was playing dirty, would have to step down and that as soon as he does
within 24 hours the plane and all will miraculously re-appear..

so there it is in writing..  only time will tell

Maybe You've hit the nail on the head there sky .... I've been thinking the same ...

Just hope no one gets killed and all return safely but the Psychological affects sadly remain
for both passengers and relatives for the rest of their days in this Program (Earth).

Sadly both "Ugliness" and "Beauty" must coexist in this Program (Earth) for now ....
(Unique to this little Universe)

When our attitude changes in the Earth Program toward LIFE, then we move on
into the next Program ! It's Automatic ....   

We need to both understand and accept WHAT this Program is really about
and its True Function in the wider aspect of All ...

You and me too Fruity!

The tech you would use in Civvy Aviation is well beyond what I would use in simple activities such as hiking, running and biking.  You have to be more serious about recording your fun and adventure than what I do in terms of fun and recreation... Heck I don't have to record my fun and adventure, I do so by choice!

[The Matrix Traveller]

What about this Rig ?

Yes that is me in the Pilots seat ....  Flying this baby !

Australia's greatest aviation mystery.

Frederick Valentich was a 20 year old pilot who vanished along with his light airplane, somewhere over Bass Strait one Tuesday evening in 1978. No trace has ever been recovered of pilot or aircraft. But what deepens the mystery is what Valentich reported seeing from his plane, in communications with Melbourne air traffic control just minutes before he disappeared forever. The event put Bass Strait on the world map of major UFO folklore. What on earth happened?

The late, much-celebrated ABC radio broadcaster Tony Barrell produced this eerie short feature about the Valentich disappearance, which includes a reconstruction of Valentich's final conversation with the Melbourne air traffic control tower and an interview with Valentich's brother.

I was an Air Traffic Controller at Tullamarine at the time monitoring the radio conversation - it was eerie. I have no idea whether Frederick saw or was taken by a ufo but he certainly saw or imagined something that scared him and his fear was evident in his voice. I day I'll never forget.

Lawnmower jokes aside I find the pic impressive LOL   

[Somamech]

AND yes i am sorry for bringing in the UFO abducted the Plane theory.. but hey it makes more sense than the official story..which oddly is non existent LOL

[burntheships]

Have I mentioned that this plane left a contrail,
and do we know who tracks jet contrails?

Satellite data recordings, searchable by NSA.

Question: does a 777 leave a contrail?

at 45k ?
at 35lk?

at 5,7k?

Think about it...

[sky otter]

well there are villiagers and fisherman who reported lights and a loud noise
right when the plane was signing off


can't find it now.. but it's somewhere in the articles that were linked
