    He made it all up, was exposed and hurt an awful lot of people.

    Let's just say that according to him, his wife was killed... He was suicidal... In about 24 hours, he commanded/piloted a military transport plane from Guam to New Hampshire, giving coordinates all the way so we could follow the flight, to bury her on their property, and became suicidal again.

    People found many "holes" in the story, and commiserated mostly off AB, then they posted many of the "problems" in the story they found, and when he was confronted with the "evidence", instead of explaining, he attacked, and, after a couple of days of "normal ABing" for him, he closed his account and left.

    That's the whole thing in a nutshell. Major Tom is gone - at least for now.

    Apparently, he'd mentioned to someone that he was getting ready to leave AB before all this happened, and now has.

    It seems quite likely that he had concocted a fictitious persona and used it to play out a drama that involved over 150 other AB users.

    He told us that his wife was killed in a traffic accident (no accident was reported in the local paper) and that he had been given the use and command of a USAF Hercules to take her body home from Guam to New Hampshire (after an army chaplain had dissuaded him from suicide).

    He then regularly reported on the progress of the flight, giving regular position updates.

    There were a couple of inconsistencies - his initial direction was west instead of east, and having told us that he had never done a mid-air refuelling, he said he had only done it once before.

    Some people suspect that it was all make-believe, while others say they have absolute proof that he never left his armchair. Whatever the truth this link makes interesting reading:

    How sad.
    I hope so much that this isn't a rumor being spread without proof. If he was truthful, this might ruin him.
    If he wasn't truthful, I feel sorry for someone who would need to play such games. They would need to be such a confused soul.

    Oh nose, more drama. Roll up your pant legs, it's going to get deep. Seriously, you didn't miss one interesting thing. A lot of OVER the TOP over reacting.

    I haven't been on here long, but I've seen his name in some of the posts. Hope for the best. Maybe he just needed a break.
