So you contend that even though the plane was tracked by satellites to the middle of the Indian ocean, 1500 miles from any land, with less than an hours worth of fuel (estimated max range), and a max speed of ~600mph, that from that point on in the ocean it somehow flew and additional 1500 miles back to land (Australia) in under 59 minutes and landed and shut the plane off before the satellite could get its next ping, completely undetected, and was then hidden before anyone could see it?
Interesting theory.
I just find it hard to believe that someone, or more than one person onboard the A/C purposely turned off tracking equipment, but had no plan to land anywhere, so they just crashed into the ocean. If you were going to hijack a plane, or do something else that was considered foul play, wouldn't you have a plan to land somewhere?
I have no idea but the motive is the biggest part of the mystery. I have no clue why anyone would do something like that, but that doesn't change the facts of the disappearance that we know so far.
It took off, all communication was lost, the plane turned around and was last located in the middle of the Indian Ocean. We can change the facts to fit the theory, we must change the theory to fit the facts.
