I rest my case. Still a lot of if’s. I believe the plane was lost/gone as soon as the transponder quit.

PS. I have been a pilot for 28 years.

Why? Pilots turn off xpndrs all the time. So can hijackers.

P.S. I attained fixed wing in 1985 and glider add-on in '91.

“I believe the plane was lost/gone as soon as the transponder quit.”

I agree. Remember Swissair 111?
