FAA revokes license of pilot whose partner died in crash in Boulder City
The Federal Aviation Administration revoked the license of a pilot whose business partner died in a crash in Boulder City while the two were giving rides on a pair of military training jets. The FAA on Tuesday ordered David Glen Riggs to surrender his commercial pilot license for carrying passengers in the Czech-built experimental aircraft when he wasn't allowed to. Efforts to reach Riggs on Friday weren't immediately successful. (www.lvrj.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
My mistake about the passenger fatality. Very sorry for the passenger and family. Also sorry for the pilots family.
People are gullible and stupid who climb into a cockpit with pilots like these two. They do so with no knowledge as to the airworthiness of the equipment nor the pilot. Jail time and/or a healthy fine might be a better deterrent for hazardous operators like this.
I fully agree.
Apparently no pax or ground fatalities. I hope the revocation is permanent..There go I, but for the grace of God, for many of us!!!
Actually the pilot and a paying passenger were killed in the crash.
A legacy carrier making wise business decisions. Novel concept. Smart.
