So if they were in radar trail, he/she wouldn't be squawking, just formation on leads wing? So likely the transponder story is wrong per se? Disorientation in IMC perhaps? I read it flew on for about 80NM so doesn't seem like a FC failure.
I'm sure more of the story will come out soon. There is that wild story that a .50 cal was fired at it from the ground, or of course the spy balloon stuff.
Time will reveal more I guess.
Just a guess, but I don’t think the jet responded to anything he did with the stick. Total power failure is a remote possibility, but the radio still works on the battery. Too little information.
TY.
