Can hardly wait to see what the powers to be come up with to prevent this from EVER happening again. :uhoh
Pretty cool that the plane could loop. Testament to it's sturdiness.
Oh, gawd, don’t even mention it.
Oh, you know that’s coming. :x

A key ignition would be a start and a key box with a lock on it
If someone wants to steal one that won't stop them.
Then you introduce a whole set of unintended consequences that will do more harm than good.
A tire boot would be an equivalent deterrent for a lot less hassle, but someone will still have the key. Who watches the watchmen?
Many mechanics are allowed to taxi aircraft from one spot to another. He probably knew just enough to start and taxi.
Just to let everyone know it was not me.
Apparently he plays Flight sims, probly Warthunder.
The AH community is a grounded stable group of people with no mental isdues so it cannot be one of us :)
He's not an AH pilot because there was no complaining over the ATC channel that the flight dynamics weren't realistic.
He crashed. There will be video of it eventually I’m sure.
The F-15s were performing a standard intercept here. There’s a second one you don’t see.
I've seen reports at least one of the F-15s exceeded mach. Is that usual in these type of intercepts?

Did he crash or did the F-15 following him shoot him down? See video. The F-15 is clearly visible.

My guess, he watched "How it Ends" before his shift and still in trance, tried to escape Seattle.
News said he was 29 years old...DEFINITELY NOT one of us :old:A squeeker then! :old:
For the life of me I cant remember his callsign at the moment but it will come to me. I do remember his real name was Rich. He was 24 last time we played together lived up in the Northwest at the time. Having heard the audio it is exactly the same guy. Same sound, exact same personality.
Ready for this?
Pilot was "coincidentally" named after a decommissioned submarine.
A few weeks ago. A missile was shot near Seattle at Air Force 1 in an attempted assassination attempt. This happened in the same area. Coincidence?
Notice the plane is a "Q"400. Coincidence?
This plane was remote controlled by white hats and used as a distraction for the real mission in order to claim the reason for the Jets to roll..
Portland F15s always in pairs.
The second F15 was on the real mission of destroying the black hat assets or perhaps a rogue submarine used by the deep state.
The guy's names is a clear give away and is to troll the deep state.
Yup a lot of mentally unstable folks around.

He only flew Bish. Loved the logistics side of the game and winning the war. He was notorious for sneaking vbases behind enemy lines by himself. His favorite plane was an LA-7. If anyone could listen to that audio and try to remember the callsign I would greatly appreciate it.
Having explained to tower he had a good grasp of how to fly the plane from playing video "games" he most likely had this planned for awhile. Its nothing to download that plane for FSX and learning everything one would need to know to get that thing started and keeping it in the air as long as he did.

Link is to the audio for anyone who hasnt listened.
Some of rogue pilot Richard Russell’s own statements to air-traffic controllers could provide clues to law-enforcement and aviation officials investigating how he managed to perform aerobatic maneuvers in a sophisticated, twin engine airliner over Puget Sound.
Mr. Russell, a Horizon Air employee who stole a 76-seat turboprop from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport Friday night, didn’t have a pilot’s license, according to the airline. But during radio communication with air-traffic controllers who were urging him to land, Mr. Russell, 29 years old, repeatedly referred to his experience with computerized flight-simulator programs.
Mr. Russell called them “videogames.” Government and industry air-safety experts said Saturday that the references suggested he had access to personal desktop simulators—perhaps depicting the same Bombardier Q400 model he stole on Friday—that can realistically replicate the performance of aircraft systems, airborne maneuvers and even instructions from air-traffic controllers.
Such simulator software is widely available for purchase and can be run on normal home computers.
According to an unofficial audio recording of Mr. Russell’s radio communication with controllers on Friday, a controller talking on the open channel said that “he is just flying around” and that Mr. Russell could use some help controlling the aircraft. Mr. Russell quickly responded, “I don’t need that much help. I’ve played some videogames before.”

Yeah man, they bred and named this guy 29 years ago just for this event.
Q references Iron Eagle shortly after this incident. I haven't seen the movie, but apparently people are saying it's similar to the plot of using a plane as a decoy. Just throwing that out there.

Based on news reports, the kid possibly went by the following names in the gaming communities:The player I am referring to had an abrivieted name. I wish I could remember. It had something to do with flooring the accelerator on a car or hard breaking that I can remember. The word just isn't there yet I'mma keep trying to remember.
beebo
wealthy
skyking
You are certifiably crazy to believe that.

But it's not crazy to pretend like this guy was actually capable of this?
I'm pretty damn good at AH and I probably couldn't pull this off. Just sayin.
Perhaps it wasn't a sub but still the same rogue missle assets that shot a missle off early this year.
Trump "the've got F16s that can shoot missles out of the sky"
Open your minds guys, this is bigger than you think.

What ever's going on in your life, I truly hope it all works out.
I believe you have way too much free space around your gray matter. It therefore makes it easier for you to wrap your brain around something like this.
Skyking did play AH3...The guy I am thinking of flew under a different name when I was full time bish.
The plane even made a Q symbol with it's flight patern. Just so happened to be an island with missile sylos near a missle launch that went off earlier this year. You don't know about it becuase the media is treason. Y'all are truely lost if you think this was just a random incendent.
You gents can decide for yourselves about a missile launch or the contrail of a jet at dawn. The person who photographed this did a 20sec exposure. In 20sec just how far will a rocket fly?

... He said he wasn't a pilot, but he had played video game s. ...
So he could have been playing on a number of different games... :noid
But since he didn't try to fly inverted through a bomber hanger, ... I am going to assume that he didn't get on an HTC platform..... :airplane:
There is absolutely no way a man whose never flown a plane before can hop into the cockpit, turn on the engines, taxi it out, take it off, do barrel rolls and pull up feet from the ground (how many Gs was that?). Talk to these guys on open comms. No fear. No G forces. Not flying over the city for safety.
Yeah, that sounds more like loony toons to me.

Wow. What you describes sounds exactly like my first flight lesson. I started the engine, taxied out, took off flew around for about an hour and then landed the airplane. I did have a wee bit of help with the flare. When I did this in 1972 I had not flown any flight sims. I simply grew up dreaming of flight. Flying an airplane isn't hard.

Tin Foil Hat much? As far as "I'm pretty damn good at AH and have never flown and real plane and couldn't tell you how to turn on "Q"400 engines, taxi it out, and do high G maneuvers feet from the water."...have you played DCS or other REALISTIC Sims? They are VERY detailed with there realistic procedures! Not saying you are wrong...I have been thinking like you. He sure didnt sound Depressed or Suicidal on Tower Coms. Maybe it was a "Bucket List" thing? Just to see if he could do it...but then reality of the ramifications of his actions set in? He did pull off a SWEET loop in the videos :uhoh
He called it a "backflip", sound like a flight enthusiast to you?
HTC would know.
IF the RL Rich guy did fly AH, would HTC tell the authorities?
How far does player confidentiality go?
I just had a crazy/odd/kindabad idea. If the RL Rich guy flew AH and HTC revealed it to the authorities/public/press, Hitechcreation would recieve possible ALOT of publicity.
Subscription numbers could go out of site! :eek:
Terms like "backflip", "powerloop" etc are very common in RC drone community and these are more and more used (wrongly IMHO) when talking about full size aviation too. Similar to the word "drone" being used to describe anything that is unmanned and flying or even instead of an UFO.

I hope you're not thinking RuAml. He's an older guy who lives in AZ.
Speaking of RuAml where has he been was always fun to fight.
RIP Manowar :bolt:
Unlike a few air show pilots, he calculated the altitude of entry into the stunt with enough to pull it off.
Scared himself and pulled hard as a survival instinct. No skill involved, just panic.
Lucky guess as he asked if 5k was enough and no response.
He had also asked about pressurizing cockpit as he was light headed. Obviously from pulling Gs. He was not high enough to require pressurization. He even spewed chunks at one point. I am sure that was motion/G related too.
hopefully they go through all the server logs and check if anyone encouraged him to pull this stunt off.
People like Max, OBX etc etc.
This. I have the same aircraft and we have two pilots in our squad that claim the simulation is precise enough to get you going. In fact, I bought the aircraft because so many of these planes are used in the islands I love so much. I am surprised it took six pages of posts before someone mentioned it.

Many of these FADEC planes are as easy to start as a car. You go to START and they either start or they don't.
It's a friggin' turbine...engage the starter and turn the fuel on...simple.
If they wan't aircraft security equip everything with radials and all will be safe. Probably eliminate a lot of rated pilots as well. :) Even with training they don't always start!!!
That kid sounded nutty to me.
really sad he wasn't able to land the plane.
I though the barrel roll was quite amateur. the loop that bottomed out at 100ft, I call luck. The negative g move, wow.
Video game pilot, I could believe that.
Sad situation. good thing nobody got hurt. I was really hoping he would land the plane. to bad.

There used to be a guy named Rich (maybe not precisely Rich, like Rich** or something?) flying for Bish.
I have seen this posted by about 3 folks now. It is a distinct possibility that he was a member at one time.
So I'm the crazy guy here, but a guy named Rich who played AH one time 6 years ago May be the GUY!!! :rolleyes:
Just wait to you learn the real reason why there are so many dead people in Chicago.

"The shape of sound" sounds like a good album title.
I'm sorry the guy had mental problems, but --
He stole a $20+ million aircraft, destroyed it, and committed suicide. His supervisor, that guy's supervisor, etc., will suffer consequences for the guy's actions. If the land the guy crashed on belongs to someone other than the government, the owner will suffer some damages. And while he was doing all of this, he was putting other people at risk of death (e.g., had he gone out onto the runway with a plane landing or taking off that couldn't abort, or had he crashed into a section of land that happened to have some people on it).

INdeed. Or he moderates the first one then reads the rest and moderates them as needed.
Spot on Oldman. 👍
Surprised that he hasn’t tied chem trails into it somehow.
He isn't trolling, he actually believes this stuff. He was finally laughed out of the Flamewarriors forum after one of his conspiracy threads.
A little of both, depending on the post. I have to find the posts that quoted the reported post, so it can lead to others being nuked.

HiTech is in the MA atm. Around 5:33p EST a player asked him if Rich Russell flew in AH. He stated and I quote him here:
"no Rich Russell showed in a search."

I remember Rich. Always calm and collected. Nothing like the guy you hear on the recording.there was a Rich who played 5 years ago with the exact same voice and personality who flew under a unique callsign for bish. He was from the northwest either Portland or Seattle I do not remember which. He was 24 when he left the game and said it was going to be permanent. Never saw him again...
Talked to an old friend last night. It is possible the guy used to play under the call sign "Flood"
I am Spartacus.quoting the nice secretary from a few years back, "it's not uncommon for someone to give us a false identity, but the issue makes it sometimes impossible to correct an error when there is a problem with payments because we need the correct information."
Beebo didn't just steal a plane. He stole a Q400. And he didn't just steal a Q400, he stole a Q400 taxied it out, took off, flew around Puget Sound. He talked to GC for nearly an hour and had a great conversation, said some incredibly humane things. Then he barrel rolled the thing good, nosed her over and called it a night. You can cop-out on the guy and go Mr Law-and-Order, but your missing the point.
Word from the top.... no person by that name ever played.
