Plane stolen from Gulf Shores airport

any updates?

@HunterTS4 Yeah, it crashed into the Gulf. Search is under way.

Was it suicide?

Could be, could also be an actual theft, or a darwin nominee. As of the last update(10hrs ago via google news search) the authorities haven't located the A/C or have any additional info to release to the public.

Any updates on the a/c or pilot?

Even flying LOP, I doubt if he could make Mexico.

Korean air Excellance in flight lollolol trolol

Maybe he lost his medical and just wanted to go for a cruise. It's understandable.

I am assuming, if it's similar procedurally speaking, to make copies of the pilot's FAA certificate (once matched to person's photo-id) and have on file. Sort of funny...if not...in a cynical kind of way. You cannot test-drive a car without someone making a copy of your DL...yet...how ironic.

Latest update :: student pilot was scheduled for a lesson and took off without his instructor. Search has been called off by the USCG.

It's called Darwinism. 1,000,000 sperm and THAT is the one that got through! I would NEVER EVER leave the ground without my IP unless HE directed me too. Hence I'm a happy PP and not a dead student. THANK GOD he is fish food now....before god forbid he passed his checkride and killed his potential passengers. God riddance moron.
