This story about the pilot’s sentence from the LA Times. With a bonus photo of the jet!!
and the pilot who buzzed a Texas beach in his diamond loses license . . .
Yeah, a guy who can afford to own and fly an Albatros is fined $900, that’ll teach him!
N.B.: “Court Judge Harold I. Cherness, however, stayed the jail sentence pending an appeal.”
RTFA.
The community service has no time off for good behavior, unlike a jail sentence…he will perform 8 hours/day for 60 days…on top of a penalty that has a $1K max fine…he got the max for time, and 90% of the fiscal fine.
also, he was found guilty on a rarely used UTILITES law…not public safety law.
I did read the Fracking article, my comment spoke to the overall leniency of the sentences given.
60 days of standing around the beach with an idiot stick in his hands? I remember when we called that a vacation.
He should have a very nice pre-cancerous glow by the time he finishes his service.
