Lucky guy, no doubt. Damn!! Now he's going to have to say he's blacked out on his next medical....

And why do TV stations that broadcast video feeds feel like they've gotta put a commercial on in the beginning?

blacked out on his next medical

Wasn't the blacking out in the first story, typical buzz job story, he's lucky to be alive, I learned that lesson early on, good thing for big orange balls! :nuts:

LOL...I love that ad: "Your big balls saved my life"

About 20 years ago we had an Aerostar land at our airport with the windshield broken out. The pilot said that he hit a goose. He ducked just at impact and the goose came through the windshield and broke the back off the pilot's seat!

Your friend is now busted.............

Seems like good cause for an emer revocation. In any event, he'll be getting some time off from flying, that's for sure.

Yep, sucks to be him. At least he came clean. I don't think he will pursue aviation as a career anymore.
Or maybe he should sign up for crop dusting and learn how to fly low professionally.

Oopsie...he'll probably be posting in the FA section here soon...

"The pilot, Kevin Duane Johnston, 26, of Gaylord, originally told deputies he was flying 2,000 feet over Antrim County’s Lake Wilson when he hit something..."

"Inglehart and Aten were riding bikes east on M-32 in Warner Township when Darren Edward Zimmer, 29, of Gaylord, hit them with his truck."


Maybe they need a course called "How Not to Crash into Things" at Gaylord High...

Didn't know the pilot but I know a few people at the company he worked for. They all said he was a really great guy and couldn't believe it. It is a real bummer for everyone involved. Definitely a lose-lose situation.

FAA inspector saves life while investigating airplane accident

everything happens for a resaon.. if the low flying pilot didnt lie about his story to the feds, maybe the inspector wouldn't have made the second trip to re-interview the pilot.. and maybe no one would have been there to save the accident victims' life..

lucky no one was killed in either accident

Doh!!!!!
