Most of that is that the flights are often on the edge of the radar/comm coverage.

I am sure that if he heard/talked to the missing aircraft like he said he did, the company would make sure he wouldn't be speaking to the media.

NTSB positioning team to offer assistance in investigation of Malaysia Airlines 777 event
March 8
The National Transportation Safety Board has a team of investigators en route to Asia to be ready to assist with the investigation of the March 8 Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 event. The Boeing 777 went missing on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Once the location of the airplane is determined, International Civil Aviation Organization protocols will determine which country will lead the investigation. Because of the lengthy travel time from the United States, the NTSB has sent a team of investigators, accompanied by technical advisers from Boeing and the Federal Aviation Administration, to the area so they will be positioned to offer U.S. assistance. The team departed from the U.S. tonight.
The country that leads the investigation will release all information about it.

No. Not enough to make a giant oil slick. RR takes 6 QT per engine plus a few QT for the APU. Add to that the hydraulic fluid required for all three systems.

After the Colgan crash, I stopped following crash information on the news. Instead, I pick out the facts on aviation sites or wait patiently for information on the investigations. That being said, I really like how this thread is unfolding. Good discussion, no jumping to conclusions, JC really is acting as my main source of info for this. Another thing I like about this community.
One question I have that keeps getting mixed answers, do we know if the plane was in an area of good radar coverage and just "vanished", or if it was in an area of intermittent converge. Makes a big difference.

I'm still really dumb founded nobody has gotten a boat in the oil slick area yet? It's been how many hours since that was reported? Also shouldn't it be daylight again there?

From what I can tell reading pprune (which, if you can sort through the chaff, is a great source for internationalish-aviation-things), the radar coverage is surprisingly good. As in, it's probably to be believed that they went from "happy and fat" to "deader than door-nails" in not much time. I stand open to correction, but it seems likely from what I've been able to glean that it was a catastrophic event of some kind.

I may have been remembering the first human remains recovered then.
No crap. A 777 disappeared without a trace.

I'm waiting for the first fisherman that claims he saw missiles.
That's kind of what I was getting at...

Here's the story in a nutshell. Brilliant Argentine designer Cicare designed the CH-6. Dennis Fetters was going to market it in the United States. The deal fell apart and Fetters attempted to reverse-engineer the design, he even patented Cicare's rotor head design. The Mini-500 resulted and it was a train-wreck. The kits were poorly designed, poorly constructed, and their weight was too much for a little Rotax to handle unless flown by petite pilots. A bunch of folks died, mostly following engine seizures. With the future of the Mini-500 at risk, Revolution started taking deposits on a two-seat kit - pure vaporware. Revolution closed up soon afterwards. Fetters sued a number of folks that violated their purchase contracts by attempting to market turbine versions, which had great potential. Cicare later designed the CH-7 Angel which is marketed and built by an Italian company.Mini-500....right there was your problem. Didn't they end-up recalling all of those things or something? That's the only helicopter that makes a Robbie Double-Deuce look good.I think that reg loophole only applies to single seat because another person can be carried. I know a 91k guy who got 1500 hrs in a Rotorway Exec, crashed it (t/r issue), and has been flying EMS for awhile now.
