* FAR 91.13(a). Operated an aircraft in a careless or reckless manner
so as to endanger the life or property of another.

Huh. I guess 91.13 really IS the "catch-all" regulation.

The guy sure did screw up. But at what point was "the life or property of
another" endangered as a direct result of his actions?

Exactly my thought, Pete.

I guess if the FAA can apply 91.13 here, they can apply it practically
anywhere.

Quite possibly his and that of his passenger if they'd pulled the trigger...

There is that, and the danger the falling wreckage would have posed to
those on the ground. And the danger to the F-16 pilots attempting to
fly formation with the C-150. And the danger caused by the
stampeding bureaucrats. But wait a minute. Those dangers were caused
by the government weren't they? :-)
