Thomas thinks that the pilot may have "blundered" into a thunderstorm. As usual, no help at all except to the media who are desperate for information from anyone.
Surely there must be some REAL experts out there to keep the media on the straight and narrow!
It would be nice for a contribution from someone who as had relevant and recent experience flying in this area.
Even I, have had experience flying in this area, but not recent and not relevant aircraft either, so I wouldn't proclaim to be an expert.
