While chartering special bush flights to the remote Alaskan national park units was an amazing experience, the price tag was definitely #STEEP. So glad we were able to make it. #OPCWeeklyTheme πŸ“· #Alaska #SmallPlane #NationalParks

Continuing the #SmallPlane #crash saga here in #Asheville, apparently this was a training flight from a school in Indiana, and the flight instructor was able to bring the plane down with no loss of life, and no injuries on the ground. The right person to have in charge, if something like this happened.

Dipshit who intentionally crashed his old plane while jumping out the door with a parachute, in an attempt to go viral on youtube, sentenced to six months in federal prison. Note, he pled guilty to destroying evidence and obstructing a federal investigation, because he and a buddy later used a helicopter to pick up the pieces of the plane and dispose of them. I don't know what charges would apply to intentionally crashing a plane, but he didn't plead guilty to that. It wasn't the crime, it was the coverup. #pilot #youtube #pledguilty #coverup #smallplane https://www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr/santa-barbara-county-man-sentenced-6-months-prison-obstructing-federal-probe-plane
Santa Barbara County Man Sentenced to 6 Months in Prison for Obstructing Federal Probe into Plane Crash He Posted on YouTube

A YouTuber pilot was sentenced today to six months in federal prison for obstructing a federal investigation by deliberately destroying the wreckage of an airplane that he intentionally crashed in Santa Barbara County to gain online views.

Nothing on the local news yet, but a news-looking chopper is hovering over a residential neighborhood near the park where the small plane went down.

Also 2 Army helicopters took off from Schaumburg - more likely a training thing. They went north and south. Odd.

#NOAA operates is own civilian hurricane hunting #aircraft; a modified #Gulfstream IV named #Gonzo after the #Muppets character.
The #GulfstreamIV patrols the edges of a storm while the larger WC-130J of the Air Force Reserve’s #HurricaneHunters flies directly inside.
