Opps -- don't trust the AP. Another report says

Johnson was not licensed to have passengers on board the plane unless
accompanied by an instructor, according to the Federal Aviation
Administration. The FAA's online records show Johnson had a student
pilot certificate as of Nov. 14, 2006

For what it's worth, the AP did report that Eric Johnson got his
pilot's license the day his divorce became final, last October.

Apparently he practiced a few touch and goes before killing himself.

This seems to be getting to be a regular deal. Embry-Riddle instructors
killing themselves on the runway, other divorced pilots deliberately crashing
into houses, people jumping out of airplanes on final and landing on power
lines so that their severed torsos splat a few feet away from small children.

Ah yes. Suicide is such a beautiful, noble thing, according to some people.
This is a trend I would really like to see stop.

Surprising that the FBO rented the plane to a student pilot with his
daughter.
