A camoflaged flight mh370...
plus those weapons that were run from Libya to Syria ....
weren’t there rumored to have been manpads among them?
IIRC manpads have the range to bring down a jetliner....
Correction to #16
Manpads NOT rumored to have been amongst the weapons going from Libya to Syria.
And finally this could be the reason they took the plane. To repaint it to look like another incoming flight, staff it with their own people and then pull in as if they were the real flight.
