"The air traffic controller frantically tried to verify what he had
heard,
but the pilot had turned off his radio, Yates said."

He's flying over an AF base and turns off his radio?

I like the bit about, "As a courtesy, the pilot informed the air traffic
tower at the base that he was entering the base¹s airspace."

Good manners are SOOO important.
