I was wondering how “ground crew” was able to take off and perform acrobatics. Barrel roll, and ironically, what sounds like “dead man’s stall” which is straight up until the engines stall and then fall back. Should take training to do that. I just couldn’t understand how a non-pilot would even know how to do those maneuvers.

So maybe remote technology (Drone) meant all the DS had to do was get an MKultra into the plane, have him lock the doors, and they’d take it from there. If remote controlled, “dead man’s stall” is particularly snarky and meant to be noticeable. But with props no longer turning, still have a glider to target a ground based target.

Remote control would give DS a “missile” to “shoot” at a location on the ground, in this case a “mysterious” island (white hat asset?). The public may not look at that location because the “pilot” was said to be irrational so the destination would seem random.

If he had used a good simulator @ home, he would be able to try them at least. While we make it sound harder 'mechanically' to impress the girls, flying isn't mechanically that difficult. It is when everything goes bad and rapid and sometimes difficult decisions must be made and executed is where pilots earn their flight pay. Dead man stall is just flying straight up to stall, falling away on your back avoiding the spin. Easier to envision than do in the less than mighty Q400 I'd imagine.. BTW, while props 'can' stall it would be the wing in this case.

I used to live near that area...Ketron Island...it is very very close to Joint Base Lewis McChord, a very large military asset. There are two large military air bases (McChord AFB and an army air field) within 5 miles as the crow flies. JBLM north is probably no more than 2,000 yards from the island.

I didn't make that connection until you posted. ThankQ.

That post is among the reasons You are the Mother of Dragons!

Thanks for the connecting of some gnarly dots!

There was a Mariners game 10 or so miles north.
