Yes.  It looks a great deal like mine. 

My wife and in-laws are wondering if I have terrorist connections.

Having owned one I can confirm the throttle quadrant to the right is indeed a Saitek.   And yes it's a POS but if you are looking for something cheap it gets the job done.

Looks like a Saitek PZ44 Pro flight system.

What about here ...its not on Rip's list of 634 and its pretty much directly in the flight path NNW? China also runs a radar surveillance base from this Island.

No kidding. Otherwise I would have pointed out the error 2 days earlier when I saw it the first time. :cheers:

If it had landed there, I don't think China would be looking for 200 of its missing citizens.

634 runways in range of MH370
(Image removed from quote.)

I don't know what the source of this info is. But it it must be a very generous reading of the 777 performance. For instance in West Australia I know of only 4 fields capable of taking a plane that size.

To the probable paths. If it was to go north and west, I would go over Yangon (Rangoon), Dhaka, then skirt the east of Indian Airspace to the Himalayas, after that I have no knowledge of the airspace

 More on point where is the radar......... if there is a radar base there...how come nothing has been said about it ...or.... the area would be off the list as possible routes?. Its not.  This is where nations don't want to get into their stuff.


 If it did land there it was 10 days ago and would be gone.... Also the only 1 to take credit is the Chinese Martars Brigade

Edit:
I have a question for for the military or commercial pilots here .....what is the alt that it would be possible to evade radar if they did reup the plane?

I think they slammed it into a sheer mountain cliff in Remote-astan, leaving only a few pieces of burning wreckage falling down below.  A couple mountain goats were the only witnesses.  In 20 years some goat herder whose never heard of this will find a few chunks of rusty metal & never will know where it came from.
