Hi, Ventus45,
I have a hard time to believe that - IF that had been "his" plan we must assume he was not aware of Pine gap radar installations or he had found out somehow that it was switched off, as we all shall believe. Both are not credible IMO.
So his plan would have been to vanish while flying in direction of one of the highest end radar of the world, not knowing if ON or OFF, with a high likelyhood for ON.
