The FBI was interviewing the pilot and a passenger, officials said. The twin-engine Aero Commander plane was spotted flying in the high desert north of Los Angeles for several hours during the afternoon at about 18,000 feet and could not be identified or contacted by the Federal Aviation Administration Saw this on the news, did notice it did not say it violated any restricted airspace, but the news makes it sound like another bad pilot. Would be nice to hear the 'other side' of the story.

She looks much nicer than what mine was (winglets et al) but I couldn't help to reminisce about the time I had to let her go to come to the US. I watch my videos of flights regularly and look forward to the time that I would once again own and fly an AC. Time is not right for me right now otherwise I would take her off your hands in a heartbeat.
