Perhaps was a small business owner who was crushed by the store opening.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Wonder if they'll shoot him down given he's threatening to crash into a populated area.

 

[Ax^]

supposed disgruntled airport worker

 

[farmerbarleymow]

He's nowhere near the supermarket location for some reason. Wonder how long the plane can stay airborne until it runs out of fuel.

 

[Ax^]

range of over 2000 km could be up their for sometime

odd flight radar not showing any miltary aircraft in the area

Find a chap who’s threatening to crash into a populated area, and shoot him down, ensuring that he crashes into a populated area.

Suppose it will depend on what level of risk they authorities think he poses, and when he's likely to run out of fuel.

 

[existentialist]

He seems to have found a bit of a locus elsewhere to fly around in. I can't help wondering if all he's doing is to draw a picture of a cat.

 

[danski]

Maybe they could fly a bigger plane underneath and carefully shunt him away.

 

[planetgeli]

He appears to be doing big circles of a field, away from residents. Thoughtful.

 

[Bingoman]

They must of done something make him angry never heard anything like this before just bizarre

There was a case at Seattle airport some years back. That chap crashed into a mountain in the end. Like this one, there are likely mental health issues at play.

Airline worker who stole plane told air traffic controllers: 'I don't want to hurt no one'

An airline employee stole an otherwise empty passenger plane from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and performed dangerous maneuvers before crashing.

[Mr.Bishie]

Surely the plane’s run outta fuel by now?

 

[Petcha]

He seems to have stopped. In the mountains.

 

[farmerbarleymow]

He seems to have stopped. In the mountains.

Yeah, just noticed that.

 

[Petcha]

Is there a Walmart in those mountains?

 

[David Clapson]

Live coverage, kind of Not on the tracker any more.

 

[planetgeli]

900ft wasn't enough. Bit weird watching that.

 

[existentialist]

Feed seems to have stopped rather abruptly. Plane down?

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Looks like it might be down unless flight radar has lost the feed.

 

[Petcha]

Definitely a fan of MS Paint anyway. Better than I could manage. Should have been a cock n balls there though.

 

[izz]

Oy vey, very weird watching that on flightradar, I hope the guy still lives, although it's doubtful of course

I completely deny ever threatening to crash into a populated area.

Pilot's farewell message on facebook Cory Patterson

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Some comments on twitter suggested he landed in a field and the police are there - no idea whether that's true though.
