Air Traffic Control: (these guys are so f'ing calm...they refer to the pilot as "Rich")
"Hey uhhh....pilot guy, can this thing do a back flip do you think?"

At least he didn't take anyone with him.

Wonder what it takes to actually get shot down?

Most of the details are on Twitter, including transcripts of his conversations with air traffic control. He was in a bad place, didn't take any hostages, and didn't plan on landing the plane. Right now, everything points to suicide via the crash. Sad all the way around. Air traffic control was trying to get him to land at the various airfields, stayed calm.

Honestly they would probably greet him with beer and then hide him in their COF.
