There was some info that Boeing let come out that most pilots didn’t know about. Can’t remember what it was..I think something about pinging.
You can bet there is more that they will never release.
If this plane continued to fly towards the Pakistan coast with no transponder you and I both know that Diego had to track it, we also know the US gov has several means to see anything in that area. The General also indicated in his earliest reports that the pilots were communicating, he did not elaborate on this point. If they did we would have it. You add the Boeing or Rolls Royce data and many Depts of the USA Gov would know where this plane landed. Unlike many on this board I do not think a person, like the General, with his background would go on a national show and be so specific about the location unless he had two or more sources.
I would warn that someone could be using him and feeding him bad info but man I would have to believe this is not his first rodeo.
Time will tell
