Investigators have not yet determined why the pilot was flying so low over the busy highway.

Sad news, just a young guy trying to get some hours.

The plane slammed into the ramp, crumpling the two-seater plane, spilling fuel on the highway, and sparking a small fire in the hills.


Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla said, "I'm thinking there was a chance he may have run out of gas. There was very little fuel in the plane."

If it was spilling the fuel there would not be much left in the plane would there???

That being true. I had a friend who died because of running out of fuel flying at night. In the NTSB report is talked about there not being any evidence of fuel surrounding the wreckage.

Night flying is dangerous, don't do it.

... It is common for pilots to follow large landmarks like highways, because small planes typically don't use radar and pilots simply use their eyes and a compass to navigate. ...

What? No radar?
