Not quite -- the two positions are about 100 miles apart, and both about 100 miles east of the route of flight.
I saw that too. Quest is CNN's international business reporter. They asked him what his "thoughts" were on those objects (who better to ask), and he waved a paper while literally shouting it's EXACTLY along the route of flight. They then show a lat/long that's 60-100 miles off, a 90 degree right turn after their last radar position. Now, I'm no business reporter, but in my feeble controller opinion I'd say 60-100 miles isn't quite "exactly." Is vietnam control non-radar in that area? |

I went down that very airway aopeof week ago, all VHF and I'm pretty certain radar all the way.

Quest was calling it an "elt" the other day. Not E-L-T. He said "elt" over and over.... 32 years flying, never heard that.

Richard Quest is an idiot. That guy doesn't know dick about flying it would seem. The only piece of his which I think was OK is that he had a short piece where he went flying with this crew only a few days before. I did enjoy watching that if only because it documented them doing what they enjoyed only days earlier than 370.

I've yet to use the word "tarmac" in an official manner in aviation, yet on the news, over and over and over again....
