who in the HELL does not bring a barf bag, when you go flying in a small plane?? i have been in a plane at 12,000 feet and needed to throw up my lunch. it was not a pretty sight, but my friend who IS a good and prepared pilot brought a barf bag. WHAT A MORON this young man is!!!
I dont get why he didnt just return to the airport if someone was sick. Why land on the beach? Doesnt make sense
Whisky Tango Foxtrot?
Twenty bucks says he was just showing off for the girl. Who in their right mind talks to the tower like that?
It literally makes me physically ill to listen to this crazy, irresponsible and selfish rich kid on the radio recordings. How could his flight instructor, examiner, parents, passengers and others not see this kids irresponsible actions coming? I started flying at the age of 17 and have never even considered something so foolish, boneheaded and ignorant in all my years of flying.
hope he loses his cert...what a nut job.
24 and grounded at his parents home, will soon be grounded by the FAA, not grounded in life.
