Okay, there is an Air Force base in Tampa, near where the plane's travel path begins, but, uhhh, how do I say this... The plane's travel path begins in a bayou (Placido Bayou Reserves) with no airport/runway....
I thought, maybe that's just where they turned on their transponder after takeoff, but I don't see a runway that aligns with that (In the same direction of travel, so to the west of the starting point), and it would've been at 500 ft or lower, soooo.... I'm pretty confused
Also, the plane did a hard right turn over very little ground covered, zoom in, that should be physically impossible for a plane of that size. A fighter jet would struggle to do a hard right turn like that, and I don't even know if a fighter jet could do that without the aerodynamic stresses tearing it to pieces.
Dunno what the fuck that means, or how it's even possible, maybe you Q people can tell me?
I’ve actually observed Night76 make a sharp right turn before. Remember you’re looking at a map so what appears like turning on a dime could still happen with a radius of miles. But yes, full 90 turn looks unusual when normally just seeing gradual curves and autopilot straight lines. Many possible explanations: mid-fight destination change, intentional misdirection, weather rerouting, Crazy Ivan, KEK
