As a pilot myself, I was asking the same questions. I've flown many different aircraft, but not turboprop… turbine engines are far more complex to start up and run, and dealing with propellor controls as well. I'm not confident I could get in a Q400 and successfully take off. From what Ive read he was merely an airline ground attendant, not mechanic.
I was also wondering if he bother to use radio or if he just pushed his way onto runway and just took off.
The barrel roll was insane as you have to have so much speed/altitude… if you notice he almost went straight into the water… theres a lot more to rolling an airplane than you'd think.
Something else to think about- with the missile Q mentioned F15 have special classified strike package to shoot down… wonder if those following this jet had the same capabilities.
