Wow. He looks like Mark Dice.
Poor guy. RIP.

Takeoffs are easy; all you need is lots of throttle, but landing, not so much!

Darn shame
Can’t we have just a lunatic straight-up , doing the lunatic fringe thing? It’s either gambling or drugs ... doesn’t matter. What a sweet plane to go out on.
What a shame. I wonder why he was hurting enough to do this., why did he feel so broken?
We are not being told something VERY important.Here is a clue. You cannot imagine the complexity of piloting a twin engine turbo jet aircraft to literally take off and do loop dee loops. There is something bad wrong with this story. I am familiar with flight training— That takes YEARS! in the seat with instructors. He didn’t learn this doing flag waiving on the tarmac. What the hell was REALLY going on here? are we being lied to AGAIN?
This guy wasn’t a terrorist-just a mentally unbalanced person bent on going out in a blaze of glory-maybe he was even hoping to commit suicide-by-fighter-jet. But what really bothers me is not that a loon was able to steal a plane and fly it around a populated area-but that ANYONE can find a way to steal a plane from SeaTac or any airport and get it airborne-if this guy could do it, a jihadist working in the same job could do it too...
Any relation to DB Cooper?
I have zero sympathy for him and he had zero reasons to commit suicide.
Seems like a selfish, look at me now act of a loser. It’s not like he was locked up in a North Korean prison cell to end it.
