I’m tellin’ ya, shit just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
I just came inside from the garage and saw this shit going on over at the Qanaon 8Chan page.
So I went and found this,
Updated, I just found this too. CRAZY MOTHERFUCKER!
Apparently the plane has crashed and now we are at the 10,000 questions phase.
Updated again, it seems he ran out of fuel and wasn’t shot down as some had speculated.
10,000 questions as in just how in the fuck does someone just walk out on the parking area, fire up a fucking airplane, taxi out and take the fuck off when most people can’t even get a bottle of shampoo on one of the fuckers without getting their genitals groped by an incompetent wannabe government thug?
I’m also hearing they scrambled 2 F-15’s from clear down in California when this happened just down the road from McChord Air Force base and even Portland has some jets from the National Guard right across the river from me.
Ahhhh, the speculation game has already started.
We shall see what they have to say tomorrow, I’m sure it will be entertaining as all get out listening to them pull some bullshit story out of their asses.

The current buzz is that he was a wrench at another airline, so he was already on the ramp.

Where were all the rap concerts happening in the area?

The 15’s at Riverside are on ADZ full alert 24/7. By the time any other unit got a call the response aircraft were already in the area. Full tanks , AAM loadout, and full AB and it is just minutes before they were in the area. The ANG unit in Oregon may not have had the Alert role at the time, and McChord does not have the Response mission at this time.

When I first looked at the video of the aerobatics I though Bob Hoover had somehow been resurrected.

Only the paying customers get groped, everyone else on the site comes to work through a door like normal. Bombs big enough to crash airplanes are the size of suitcases; everyone in aviation knows the real bombs come in through the luggage handlers. Luggage handler is a crappy low-paid job out in the weather with high turnover and poor background checks, it’s easy to add a new worker to deliver a bomb. See? The government fooled you. You thought airport security was something other than training in domestication.

Experts have already caused much confusion concerning this incident, and as they continue their investigations, soon we will know nothing at all about it.

Didn’t they say that about the 9/11 hijackers, that they practiced take off and flight, but not landing?

I’ve worked on airports for over 30 years now. Once you’re on the ramp you have the run of the place as long as you stay off the runways and taxiways, and planes aren’t locked up, after all everybody airside has had background checks and is proven to be a good guy, right? He was a ramp service agent so he knew how to push an airplane back and as for starting an airplane’s engines, it is relatively simple, you wouldn’t want to have a complex procedure to restart one after a flame-out. Due to the IFR reserve rule (you start every flight with enough fuel to reach the nearest alternative airport + 45 minutes) there is always fuel in the tanks when the plane lands.

Operating the flaps, stabilizer and the landing gear implies a fairly intimate knowledge of the controls.

Not really, Phil. All the controls knobs are made to a standard design so that they can be identified by touch. The landing gear switch has a little wheel on it and the flap selector is shaped like a wedge of flap, and the take-off position is marked “T/O” on the quadrant. The horizontal stabilizer on a -8 does not move, the plane doesn’t go fast enough for Mach-tuck to occur. Half an hour with a flight simulator on a computer would be enough for the average person to get airborne. Taking off is easy, air is soft and forgiving. It’s coming back into contact with the ground that is difficult.
