BBM.On the theory of the plane being hijacked and hidden somewhere for later use: This would be a huge operation with so many people involved and so much pre-planning, with a landing place prepared for a Boeing 777 and a place to hide it---all this prep would have had to been done without any leaks, or chatter getting picked up by intelligence, and without any detection of the huge runway or hangar being constructed or the activity of all involved. This would be hard to prepare for in a sneaky way.
Also, what later use? If you need a plane to drop a bomb, you wouldn't need one this big. If you are going to crash it into something, why not just do that when you hijack it ? why wait for later? And if you're going to use it "later", how are you going to take this now famously missing absolutely huge plane and just go flying around in it without being detected, even if you're "under the radar" it would be seen as soon as it got anywhere near a populated area...
I don't totally dismiss this theory, but I have a lot of why's and how's about this one. But I feel the same about the other theories too...each one seems to have a lot of "but if that was the case" attached to it...
The only thing I could think of was loading it with some sort of explosive to cause major damage. I agree it would be seen if flying below radar so it would need to be fairly near the target. Just one of many theories.
