Bullets are expensive and too quick.
One of my favorite quotes of Alan Rickman:
Sheriff of Nottingham (to Robin Hood):
"I'll cut your heart out with a spoon!"
Guy of Gisborne:
"Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe?"
Sheriff of Nottingham:
"Because it's dull, you twit. It'll hurt more."

This jerk almost certainly claimed insurance after this stunt so if you want action and are an aircraft owner or own other aviation assets
- send that link to your insurer and
- demand they notify all other insurers and
- demand that this jerk is prosecuted to the max for insurance fraud.
Insurance companies are far far more viscous than the FAA are.

This is the "get out of jail free " card from NASA. It's actually a refrigerator magnet. We have them on the railroads too. I had to fill one out once because the preceding tower miss timed a train to me. I sent it to the appropriate branch for the train it was supposed to be.

There is a self reporting system (NASA Report) that the FAA uses, but in this case his stupidity is pretty blatant, I think the feds will laugh if he tried to submit a NASA Report for this.

I had to be quite meticulous answering the form. Weather conditions, time, physical state, why did I do what did and in what sequence. I'm grateful I had nothing to cover up.
Can that guy make the same claim?

That's pretty much the same set up we had. Almost word for word if my failing memory is correct.

Admitting that you got lost and violated controlled airspace without being in contact with the proper ATC facility is one thing (who has not done that?) But admitting that you planned and executed a crime is quite another.
That's like Mohammed Atta filling out a NASA form.

This has been openly questioned on Youtube, with some pilots doing an analysis and concluding there were some shenanigans in separate videos.
Maybe this idiot will get his comeuppance in due time. What a waste of a good Luscombe! At minimum, he should have to pay for having the wreckage removed from wherever it is located and be precluded from flying as PIC again after showing such poor judgement to such a wide audience. The judgement shown in the video SHOULD preclude the aviation community from ever trusting another airplane to his judgement again.

I totally agree. I watched the video in Mlflyers post above and the guy brings up A LOT of good questions. I hope someone sends it to the FAA inspector...

The Taking-Off channel has a large following with the aviation community.
Chances are very good that either someone with the FAA or a friend of someone in the FAA will, or has, seen that episode.

From what I understand this was being investigated by the VNY FSDO. When I lived in SoCal, they were the FSDO office I dealt with and did not mess around with idiots.
