No, Guided missiles do not have transponders that I know of. Satellite observers stationed in Geo-synchronus orbit over that part of the world with infrared sensors detect missile launches. They track the heat trails...............

Does that mean all of the components had special transposers on them and that if an enemy turned off the transposers on their ICBMs, we would not be able to track them???

could the plane have made it to Pakistan?

Undetected? No. Not talked about, yes.

It appears as though Zaharie was GAY AND ATHEIST

Here are his YouTube video 'LIKES':

Take note of the hateful video against Pope Benedict, another video of Seth McFarlane on Atheism and gay rights, and another on Michael Newdow on Atheism. Zaharie 'LIKED' these videos!

This is not being handled like it would be in the us

Imagine the families

Maybe you are all not thinking about this. Do you have family that you care about? Ok. Now picture what you’re doing today as they are missing without a trace. Now picture that our fed officials are wondering a week later whether they should search this guys personal effects, while the public is leaking photos appropriately questioning this guys character with his hound dog behavior

It’s a Boeing triple seven 270 odd innocent people on board a couple of toddlers

It’s not a tail dragger or a Cessna or even a corporate jet

A break please

The aircraft’s a gonner. It undoubtedly was ditched in the Indian Ocean. Why? Because the waters are DEEP there. That’s why the aircraft was flown to that location.

I’m concerned ( since this plane seems to have been stolen ) that the guys flight simulator might also have been used to train other pilots.

Seems to me to be perfectly normal for a professional pilot to have a simulator in his home. The technology is readily available, affordable, realistic, why not?

Why, exactly, is it “troubling” that an airline captain and aviation enthusiast would have a flight simulator?

That’s ridiculous.

What is your sim of choice?

Been using flight sims for years, going back to that 747 thing for(Commodore 64/Atari 800???)...Sublogic ATP, all the MS series...until FSX.

(figured my old 'puter couldn't handle it).

Here’s why.........MH370 pilot Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah. Was he running his own flight school for budding jihadists?

A Boeing triple seven does not have a sufficient heat trail?
No wonder it makes a perfect missle!

“Why, exactly, is it “troubling” that an airline captain and aviation enthusiast would have a flight simulator?”

I don’t think it is.

THe question really is, why, exactly is it ‘troubling’ that authorities should search the homes and personal effects of the pilots flying a plane full of people which disappeared?

FSX (fully configured) on a high performance machine. I fly mostly PMDG, RealAir and Carenado sim models. With this level, you get excellent immersion in the sim. Also design and build fictional airports for FSX. Lots of enjoyment from the hobby.

Have Fun!!

I’m not disagreeing that they should search the guys house, as well as the rest of the crew. I just think people are way off base with thinking that there is anything remotely suspicious about a pilot having some form of flight sim at home. I would actually be more surprised if he didn’t. It’s like thinking a small arms manufacturer with guns at home is suspicious, or a military officer with wargames.

Nothing’s decided until we say it is.

I believe there is a lack of imagination that this guy could be complicit in the disappearance of his airplane, the most mysterious disappearance of an airplane that, some have said, and rightly so, ever. Or that, at least, there could be some indication of the whereabouts of the aircraft.

It’s just 270 people. nothing to see here. He’s a pilot - innocent super human. And don’t mention the babes he had on the flight deck during flight.
