Have you seen this?

[driftdiver]

He can fly circles around him and then use his cannon should he decide to take the plane out.

What I just wondered — Pakistan?

[al baby]

Ask Payne Stewart oh you can’t hes dead

[driftdiver]

The service ceiling for that plane is 13,500

Pretty darn good flying for a student pilot. A long cross country and night landing on a Missouri highway!

[Alberta's Child]

And it’s only Opening Day. We’re in for a long season, eh?

[EDINVA]

One student on board, they seem to know who it is but not willing to give name ... maybe we start a poll of first name guessing. I’m thinking neither George nor Gordon.

Baseball season is too long these days.

[al baby]

Did it do a loop de loop though the Arch?

“A federal law enforcement official told CNN the pilot is a naturalized Canadian citizen, but declined to give his name or country of origin.”

[mplsconservative]

I was wondering the same thing. This is a ‘student’ pilot?

[driftdiver]

“I fler @ 14,000’ from Mexico City to Loretto in 7 hours with no oxygen.”

How’d you hold your breath for 7 hours?

[cripplecreek]

His first name is probably Al.

And it’s only Opening Day. We’re in for a long season, eh?

Apparently, the fans are on roids, too!

[dalereed]

“Were you sleeping?”

Hell no, I was on an IFR flight plan.

FL14 was the minimum altitude leaving Mexico City and to reach Loretto I had to stay at that altitude leaned out to make the diatance.

Actually total time was 7 hours, 20 min. but I was only at FL14 dor 7 hours.

[HollyB]

THey won’t say at this time.

[al baby]

Or the Raiders

"3800 ft AGL"

You could squeeze a 12 sec. freefall out of that...

Thanks - the media reported 14.5K seemed high to me -
