An example of flight simulators and how he might of taught himself just enough to get it in the air:

thanks for the links.

I was able to use the on-screen text

—(audio is not useable; I am severely hearing impaired)—

first vid, at one point, has ATC giving Rich a choice between landing at McChord airfield, or ditching the plane into the Sound.

Has vid of plane doing barrel roll, then being chased by an F-15; vid taken by John Waldron.

second vid, Rich says he didn’t have any intention of landing the plane, and says he didn’t know “what that is” (not sure what he was referring to; am looking at text on screen).

ATC then gives Rich a choice of McChord or Tacoma Narrows fields on which to land.

Rich says he has 760 pounds of fuel left, and does a barrel roll.

Has same vid of barrel roll, taken by John Waldron.

Third vid, —has flight path displayed—
Rich says he doesn’t know how to put the landing gear down, or put the plane on autopilot.

Given the above info, looks like Occam’s razor:

Rich went ‘off the rails’ and stole the plane in order to end it all.

For it to be remotely done, with overlaid audio, there would be a good number of people ‘in on it’ in order to do it:

the ‘pilot’ of the stolen plane
the ATC guy at SeaTac
USAF F-15 pilot #1
USAF F-15 pilot #2

Does the audio of those three vids sound scripted?

But is there video of the plane actually crashing?
