This radar feed prooves nothing! All it shows is where planes are flying until they fly too low for radar to pick it up. This radar feed actually shows how the plane slowed down at that time. But, planes don't slow down that much. What they do is descend so on radar it appears that they slow down. This Lidle plane descended to excape the radar and then flew in the opposite direction just above the water as seen in the Coast Guard footage.
Sorry to burst the bubble for the conspiracy junkies, but Lidle and his flight instructor were attempting a steep turn in the "box canyon" to avoid breaking Class Bravo airspace while under VFR for a flight lesson. There was no other aircrafts involved in the incident, nor was he attempting to avoid other aircraft.

Michigan Air National Gaurd F-16's shot Cory Lidle down on direct orders from Donald Rumsfeld. It was on the news and stuff.
