"Or, it could be a 15 year old kid who stole the plane and didn't know what the hell he was doing."
. . .could be, but if he did not know what he was doing, why would he steal a plane; if he did not know how to land, why did he go up?
Actually, I heard a student pilot was on board; have they confirmed he was alone?
Inclined to think no news about name released yet of 'involved' could well indicate ME influence somewhere on board. . .
Local TV news media report that the pilot was 15-year old Charles Bishop. He was reported to be an honor student at East Lake High School who had been taking flying lessons for about two years. He took the plane without permission after his instructor told him to do a check of the airplane. At one point, the pilot flew over MacDill AFB. The pilot was killed. There was no fire. No other injuries reported. The wings fell to the ground and the tail of the plane is outside the 28th floor of tbe Bank of America building.
