I put my money on China ,, they want those embedded processor engineers for what they know of the exact design changed demanded by the NSA Wouldn't it be easier for China to grab them when they landed in Beijing? Make up something about them being spies, and sequester them in a room somewhere for a few weeks, til they had what they wanted?

I have a friend who suggests that N. Korea or Iran could be looking to commercial jetliners to deliver their new-found nukes. Doesn't Iran have the money to buy all the large commercial aircraft it could use, for that or any purpose? North Korea could even rustle up enough to buy a used jet. Peasants don't need to eat.

One final puzzlement, then will stop my pings ... Am reading, somewhere else ... no link, of last contact with MH370 was five hours earlier than the news reports and Malaysian authoritative information. I do not know this to be a fact, nor do I know it to be untrue.

This scenario was portrayed in Neal Stephenson’s “Reamde” about 3 years ago.

Does the US not still operate the SOSUS systems? I would think that in that general area, we would have arrays operating that could pickup something as violent as a large aircraft impact. We would at least know if it hit the water or not. Am I making too many assumptions here? We’ve used them to pick up less dramatic events in the past...

It didn’t stay at 45,000. The data say it went down rapidly to much lower levels, where cell phones were usable. Jamming? Possible. But I think this gives too much credit to the brain power of one guy-—which is about the only scenario that even remotely seems to fit outside of random accident, which I don’t fully rule out.

Wasn’t at that altitude long. Remember? It came way down.

A maneuver to SIMULATE mid air refueling, not the act of it.

If this was a planned event, it wouldn’t be difficult for the planners to get that little toy, online, that disrupts cel phone reception. I also understand that some businesses employ this to block cell phone usage in certain areas.

A practiced skill by today's fighter pilots, but they tend to do it with 10 to 20 thousand feet vertical separation directly on top of one another, and they also practice manipulating "
Radar blind spots".
After all primary radar is "line of sight".

Aerial refueling is not possible. But the same sort of precision flying would be needed, no?
Close enough to merge into one radar blip, but not close enough to collide.

A practiced skill by today's fighter pilots, but they tend to do it with 10 to 20 thousand feet vertical separation directly on top of one another That shouldn't work if the radar senses elevation. The Malaysian military radar supposedly had them flying above the 777's service ceiling.

What if the Singapore Air flight was delayed? Why not just google it?
To: cynwoody
Yes. I missed the point. Yes it would. Does the Pilot or Copilot have military training?

Ground Control Intercept Radar does, but normal Air Traffic Control Radar does NOT.
Then you have to know what you're doing when you tune it, and set it up.
Just a little off with your tuning and it doesn't work right.

Have you read if the First Lady is still set travel to China. I am curious because if they cancel that trip it will indicate if they believe that plane is on the ground somewhere.

It is my opinion that ‘skunk works’ type operations knows exactly what is happening. If it landed, they’re looking at it right now. If it sank in the ocean, they know where.
