Not saying you're wrong, but I don't think there is evidence that those points were "Entered" into anything.

I think the common thinking as of now is that they caught random blimps on radar at times that would be constant with someone following those waypoints.

Correct me if I'm wrong


I agree, although the U.S. is pretty confident that the plane did follow that flight path based on information that is not yet public.

Followup: And would entering the waypoints be the only way for them to coordinate if they shut down the transponder and anything else that could be tracked?


I would think that shutting down the transponder has no effect on the navigational systems.

Buy this baby on ebay and you can fly a plane anywhere. Though you still need an antennae.

I think I remember reading that Malaysian ATC released the plane to Ho Chi Minh control at some point. Was that right before the plane disappeared? If so, I think that supports the theory that the pilot(s) are behind this. They knew Malaysian ATC wouldnt be paying attention to them at that point. Wasn't the pilot's "last words", "good night" or something like that.
