The tower controller then instructed the pilot to "make it a right downwind departure then." At 2038:56, the pilot acknowledged the instruction stating, "right downwind departure two two." No records of any further communications between the pilot and ATC exist.
The target's last radar position was recorded at 2140:34 at an altitude of 1,100 feet.
2140:34 minus 2038:56 equals 1 hour, 1 minute, and 38 seconds. It would have actually been a bit longer because even in a steep dive it would have taken a few seconds to get from 1,100' to zero.
