How can I fly into a mountain, so that I will
die for sure???


Being suicidal invalidates your medical, making it illegal for you to fly.. *So
you'll have to find some other method.


Like con somebody else into taking you for a ride?

This is from today's AVweb:

BRAZIL -- A man convinced a pilot Thursday to take himself and his 5-
year-old daughter on an aerial sightseeing tour, but forced the pilot
out at gunpoint on the runway, prior to takeoff in Brazil. At that
point, Kleber Barosa da Silva took control of the aircraft. Da Silva,
who was being sought for his alleged rape of a 13-year-old girl, then
flew the aircraft for more than an hour. Local TV networks would later
broadcast video of the aircraft after an air force aircraft found it
and formed up loosely on its wing. In the end, Da Silva, 31, crashed
the aircraft into a mall's parking lot in Goiana, Brazil, killing
himself and his daughter. It is not known if that was his intent, if
he was aiming for the mall, or if the aircraft simply ran out of fuel.

Earlier that day, Da Silva had argued with his wife, before forcing
her out of a moving car and driving his daughter to the airport in
Luziania, where the incident's deadly second act began would begin.
Police described Da Silva's flight as erratic, and Manoel Borges, the
police commander in charge of the investigation told Reuters, "by our
reading of what happened and his psychological state" his intent "was
to smash into the shopping center."
