Re: Story of a Stolen Boeing
#2Wait, this is somehow a mystery? Two people who had no experience flying 727s fueled up a plane, somehow got it airborne, and flew out over the Atlantic Ocean never to be seen again. Oh, and 727s require three people to properly fly them.
There's no mystery here. They crashed in the Atlantic Ocean.

3 people to safety fly them. I doubt the plane shuts off if three life-signs aren't detected.

From the article
>> Unlike other plane disappearances, no debris has been found in the ocean from the aircraft
I'm not saying your suggestion isn't valid or potential what happened but it's appears to be far from certain.

They only found 20 pieces of MH370, and that was with genuinely massive media attention and the most expensive search in aviation history.
A plane in Angola with two criminals aboard? No located debris isn't indicative of much.

I'm not a pilot.
But with the fact that "somehow" they got airborne, I give them the benefit of doubt re: landing.

#7"in the process of being converted for use by IRS Airlines"
This is a Nigerian airline, but the name makes me think of this classic Simpsons bit:

Getting airborne is pretty easy. Landing is far harder. That said if the pilot has any experience in similar sized aircraft and has the checklist for landing it should be doable so long as the weather isn't terrible and nothing out of the ordinary happens. If you're just trying to land on some particular miles long section desert then that makes things a lot easier. Trying to drop out of the sky onto a short runway in a valley that's just barely longer than your minimum stopping distance is not likely to end well for a pilot who is not very at home flying that particular type of aircraft.
IMO this aircraft is probably at the bottom of the Atlantic somewhere.

Pieces are going to be found on the ocean floor in some decades in a random sonar survey of the bottom for a new pipeline, I guarantee it.
Commercial applications like this are the only reason to do large area bottom surveys.

My flight simulator experience taught me that landing a big airplane is extremely more difficult than taking off, specially if unassisted by airport instrumentation.
