Years with an HN recommendation, 2007–2026
HN recommends it as a detailed, pilot's-eye summary of the whole MH370 story and the case for searching again.
Mentour Pilot's 56-minute account of the MH370 disappearance and what is now known, including the WSPR radio tracking technique and other sensing methods. It was made ahead of renewed search efforts.
“I highly recommend Mentour Pilots videos on the topic, for an indepth introduction to the whole story and the new search” (HN, 2025)
For those interested in a pilot's view of this incident, check out MentourPilot's latest video. [this video] About 45 min into the video, he quotes a technique called WSPR that can use radio transmissions to track flights. Super interesting, if validated. A less easily digested paper on WSPR technology is available under the video.
Pilot's view of MH370, including WSPR radio tracking technique around 45 minutes in.
If anyone is interested in recently made content that recaps the whole thing, all the available information, some of the speculation, including the most recent news/information: * video by Mentour Pilot - [this video] * great read, as usual, by Admiral Cloudberg, slightly older: [link]
