Stolen King Air still flying as of 8:38am on Sat (9-3-22)

They says it's an employee of the tupelo airport. One point he was circling the Toyota plant. Now he is up by holy springs.
 
Hopefully it won't end in more than one fatality. (Obviously no fatalities would be best)
 
it's gonna run out of gas eventually..........skyking copycat.....
 
Still airborne. Wonder why there's no ANG or other plane tailing him.
 
SWA flight just flew overhead of his current area - 38k feet of separation... seemed odd, but zero chance he could interfere. He is definitely keep to the rural area northwest of Ripley for the last little bit.

Probably is, just not trackable.

I was thinking this. If he heads toward a concentrated population something may happen. Otherwise, he'll run out of fuel, he's been airborne for hours, at low altitude.
 
Walmart Distress Disorder… it’s a thing.
 
No offical update. It appears that he is down.

Report of aircraft that went supersonic a while ago. Guessing ANG.

Still in motion on both of my ADS-B trackers. I don't know how long the delay.
 
How delayed is flightradar? track is still showing altitude, speed, and movement
 
He disappeared from ADSb exchange about 25 minutes ago.
 
Either he's been talked into staying in rural areas, knows someone who lives out there, or ANG is keeping him boxed out. My Flightradar session timed out.
 
Flightaware is updating fairly close to real-time
 
a (reputable?) news source is covering it now.... Looks like he's over some national park now
 
Oh ya, he’s still going!
 
Huge oscillations…..VSI -1400 down to 700 agl then back to 1500 agl. Or is flightradar msl?

If it's MSL, he's nearly on the deck at some points. Those PTs are gonna be sucking fuel. I'm shocked at how long he's been up.
You can find his ID on twitter.
 
The alleged guy posted this earlier.

what's the full fuel endurance on a King Air 90 at those low altitudes?
 
That's rough. hopeing for some sort of peace for him and his loved ones. dang.

Surely the ANG has a radius now on this guy. I would shudder to think who is watching how long of a leash a crazy plane gets these days.
