Virgin Australia plane vanished from radar HOW can a packed passenger plane disappear from the radar for over 30 minutes along one of the busiest flight routes in Australia? An investigation has been launched to find out just how this happened last Friday on a Virgin Australia flight. The Boeing 737 plane was flying from Sydney to Brisbane when it was lost by air traffic controllers over Evans Head, south of Byron Bay NSW. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau notes there was a “loss of separation assurance”. “It was reported that the aircraft’s details were inadvertently inhibited in the air traffic management system for approximately 30 minutes,” the ATSB website states. According to Crikey, the incident saw the plane become an “invisible projectile” in what was a very dangerous incident. The plane landed safely.

Yeah wes,makes ya wonder,as they say they can read number plates from space.!
Even if the transponder was deactivatade,the plane should still be picked up on aviation/military radar?

It would be interesting if details come out regarding any disruption with time, like the incident in the States of a small prop plane a few years ago which travelled more of a distance than it should have for its design and the only conclusion as it disapeared off radar was that it had gone through a vortex. www.labyrinthina.com/electronicfog.htm
