Really? You can just get in the cockpit of a 727 and takeoff without clearance and then just vanish Undecided

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Interesting article. I had already posted it in the Real Aviation section though. Wink

Smells fishy to me. I would bet money the CIA knows a heck of a lot more than anyone is saying.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

You have to consider this happened in a third world country. Also, think how hard it was to find the Air France flight in the Atlantic, or Steve Fossett's flight, and we knew about where to look. My honest opinion is that the un 727 qualified mechanic tried to fly the aircraft, and met his doom at sea, or perhaps in a remote part of the African plain or desert. Believe it or not, it is possible to not be found in this world.

Quite true -- some people have gone out looking and never found themselves.
