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.

You may assume AVWEB was talking about that.

I know, I was being funny.

He crashed the plane into the water and let the passengers drown!
Perhaps he should ask Ted Kennedy for a referal for a good attorney.

Kennedy never did that! All stories of Democrat politicians' lying,
corruption, or other criminal activity are made up out of whole cloth by Rush
Limbaugh.

Seriously -- Google any story of a Democrat's corruption, especially in the
last 30 years. You will find thousands of people attesting that it never
happened, that it was blown out of proportion by dittoheads, and, anyway, it
was not nearly as bad as anything George Bush has done.

Things are little or no better on the Republican side.

Reason has entirely disappeared from American politics.

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.


I haven't looked at a Bellanca in a while. Doesn't it have just the right front
door like a Cherokee? If that's so, he had to crawl over the other front seat
passenger to get out. It's a pity he didn't join them.

Interesting everyone is calling this guy a pilot!
