It kills me to read stuff like this. To the non-flying public, it makes
all of us GA pilots look like idiots that take unnecessary chances and
completely disregard the law. This was a non A&P certified pilot doing
all acft maintenance, aircraft's last annual 22 years ago, crash caused
apparently by fuel exhaustion (trace amount of auto fuel in tank w/o
proper STC), pilot's license suspended 10 years ago, last medical dated
10 years ago... Unreal. I guess you just can't stop some people from
flying if they really want to. That guy is lucky he walked away,
considering where he landed and having hit power lines and a rooftop.
The FAA says it doesn't enforce criminal violations? This should be an
exception. I think this kind of aggregious violation should be
prosecuted - what else could this dope have done illegally? And, he did
endanger people on the ground.
