Given the complications of the Aero-Stars fuel system I wonder if he
had gas in it when he pranged it?


Can you elaborate on that?

Hey, if you're going to spend a bunch of years in the federal pokey, why
renew your medical??


I wonder if any of the prison doctors are AMEs.

The Piper Aerostar twin-engine plane crashed in a wooded area around
midnight Saturday near the Wheeling-Ohio County Airport, said James
Peters, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration.
Authorities found about 327 pounds of cocaine packaged in blocks and
another 193 pounds turned up Monday in the plane's nose compartment,
Johnston said. He estimated the street value at about $24 million.


Doggone it: try and come up with creative ways to finance your flying,
and look what happens.

Aerostars are mid-wingers. I guess that makes him AC/DC.

I doubt it. He'd be considered a flight risk.

Ugh.

And with just a week ago, a clear candidate for "bad pun of the year"
emerges...

(Thanks for that...it might have been bad, but I enjoyed it anyway)

That's street value when the product is divided into small packages.
Wholesale value is less.

Not sure the FAA is who he cares about the most at the moment. Remember
he owes someone $24M worth of cocaine!!!!
