This week in stupid pilot tricks
FAA: Pilot in crash was flying low over lake
PHOENIX – The pilot of a small plane that crashed into a lake northwest of Phoenix was talking on a cellphone to a friend on a boat while flying only 10 feet above the water, according to a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman. The pilot asked the friend in the boat to shine a flashlight so he could identify the correct boat Friday night, then crashed into the lake.
