I agree. An exterior operator had to have taken control and landed the thing. I have no reason to believe that Iranian techies are not smart enough to do this by themselves, but given the interest of the Russians and the Chinese in interfering with the US military command and control structure, you have to wonder if they had a hand in it.

If we can believe what sources are saying, this was a CIA bird rather than one run by the military. I wonder what we could conclude from that.
