Considering all tha ttime out of official inspection, I find it interesting
that it appears to be a fuel exhaustion accident. mike "Kingfish" wrote in message ups.com... 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. vent mode off Here's the link: http://www.aero-news.net/index.cfm?C...20d3f49baa5&#d |
