[QUOTE=FullWings;11646665]No, not really, unless you call flying for hundreds of miles in a straight line, making a turn, then doing the same again normal for a “ghost flight”?

FullWings, that’s the big misconception. The raw primary radar data shows a meandering flight back towards Penang and then a lazy gentle turn at Penang. Then after 18:01z we have NO radar evidence how it flew. In early reports, straight lines were drawn, but they have never been backed up by evidence. It took 4 years before the actual primary raw data was released, and of course, by then everyone had made up their minds it was nefarious.
