content: Fact: Spanish company (SwiftAir), MD80, Spanish crew (6) operating a flight for Air Algerie. Mostly French passengers (50) on board (110). Lost contact in Mali airspace, 50 minutes after take-off from Burkina Faso.My thoughts: Would have flown over conflict area in Mali, but is unlikely to have been brought down in the cruise phase by a missile, assuming that highly sophisticated weaponry is not available to the insurgents.Once again, no distress call, suggesting a catastrophic event.

content: I know what is crashing in an airplane, I did it due to a technical failure in a training aircraft (not my aircraft).I was seriously injured but was lucky to survive.I build my own aircraft (experimental) and put a parachute for the complete aircraft.I only used it a few times after the accident and sold it, I lost confidence in small aircraft's.This was the dashboard of my aircraft

content: There may be a systemic issue awaiting discovery. But since there is no standard or requirements worldwide on what and how planes are tracked, such systemic issue will be difficult to find.I guess it gives new meaning to "live every day fully and leave no regrets should this day be...(you fill in the blank)..."My best regards to all those with family on those lost flights.Rick
