cnn was also calling him a pilot. That's like calling Hannibal Lecter a chef.

[Jumper Bones]

Some really great memes have come from this

All that said, the Seattle ATC facilities did a great job dealing with this, the TRACON in particular.

Seems like a pretty cool way to go if you are gpnna off yourself

My nephew’s summer job was the same job as Rich’s and he worked alongside him about 2 days/week.
He said he was maybe a little quiet, but completely normal. Eye opener for him about mental illness.

something hijacked his mind that evening but the main message taken from this incident will be for airport security.
vibes to his family and friends/co-workers

I doubt this kind of shit happens in China.

Any discussion of Top Gun always makes me think of this scene:

Oh, I see now why iceman would rather people forget that movie...

What about Goose?

Apparently, the F15s that scrambled out of PDX got to the Seattle area in less than 6 minutes

a nice chianti really helps.

PDX to SEA is almost exactly 100 Nautical Miles.
If my calcs are correct, for a 6 minute flight from PDX to SEA the jets would have to travel at Mach 1.5. (1147mph).

Takeoff from PDX with afterburner.

Is it me or do the Dash's, ATR's, etc. look like the wings are just too skinny to fly?

Interesting listening to the tapes of this guy with the tower and sitting pilots. My guess is that he just discovered acid and realized his life was a joke. Fortunately, he wasn't homicidal.

Yeah, it's the classic neighbors said "quiet, polite, seemed ok, kept his yard neat" ..."we were all really surprised that he had human heads in his freezer" situation.

So I've heard that we was on the towing crew. Is that what your nephew was doing?

Yeah, they suck.

I'm in the camp that Rich was just a fucking asshole who planned and stole a $30 million plane to go for a joyride as evidenced by his cocky attitude with ATC. The vast majority of people with mental issues don't decide to do this, so trying to turn this into a mental health issue is like looking for the boogeyman.

Perhaps planes should have keys like my Toyota?

This is what I was thinking yesterday. I was listening to a golf buddy, yudge tRump fan, going on on how awesome sky king dude was, on how impressive of a way he went out...it was like he looked up to him. I mentioned how this will impact safety issues from now on, increased costs for the airlines, passed down to fliers. He was quick to dismiss my thoughts.
