On a twitter feed some guy is videoing him while he was flying straight. But says “That’s not a drone man, that’s a plane. Oh man - he did a loop-de-loop! (Not seen on video). Christ - here comes fighter!”

From LiveATC on Twitter:

“Not going to land this safely. I’m gonna try and do a barrel roll and then just put it nose down and call it a night.”

Sounds like a Customer Service Agent....
Was complaint about Horizon paying minimum wage.

He kept talking about fuel issues...Big fire at crash site on the island in Puget. He was up long enough to scramble 2 f-15s who were close to him at time of crash.

The 2 F15s were not involved in the crash.

Witnesses said the plane was doing “loot to loops”...

I guess leaving the keys under the floor mat isn’t the best idea.

Not shot down. 2 f15s scrambled from Portland with full combat loads but they’re reporting the f15s were not involved in the crash.

My hope is that security clearance changes dramatically starting tonight.

I suspect you are correct sir. I was an air traffic controller for 20 years. I can assure you, letting an aircraft get stolen, out from under our noses, was frowned upon. That happened in 1969 at Mildenhall. It was not good.

Oh goodie, the FBI is involved... that will insure that we never learn what really happened.

Well I heard a hell of a boom! earlier tonight, and immediately checked the weather and earthquake threads...

Mechanics have to have access, there’s really no getting around that.
