PILOT CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER AFTER FATAL CRASH
(http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive...ll.html#194044)
A 30-year-old man who was flying a 1972 Bellanca Super Viking when it
crashed into a pond in northeastern Oklahoma on Saturday night,
killing all three passengers, has been charged with three counts of
manslaughter. Thomas Brent Caldwell, 30, of Pryor, Okla., apparently
never had a pilot certificate and was drinking at the time of the
accident, authorities said. Killed in the crash were Mariano Carlos,
15, of Pryor; and Eduardo Robles, 20, and Campos Gonzalez, 33, both
from Mexico. Investigators said it appears the engine was not
producing power when the airplane hit the water, and the passengers
appear to have drowned.


By pilot I assume you are talking about the guy who was flying the
plane? There was no pilot on board according to the NTSB.
