Okay, I meant his *evil* son...

Salem bin Laden (Osama's brother) died in an ultralight crash in May of
'88 (almost 20yrs to the day after his dad died) in Texas. (this
website is incredible)


Salem bin Laden owned the airport that I did all my ratings at (Houston
Gulf, formerly Spaceland). Something the press of course dined on after
Sept 11 2001. It was owned by his estate after he died in 1988.

Not long after 9/11, it was sold to a property developer who is building
houses on it.
