Jonathon McConkey is a pilot, qualified flight instructor and general manager of IASCO Flight Training School. He is alleged to have carried out the kidnapping with his assistant and ground instructor Kelsi Hoser. (www.airlive.net) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
How did this dead horse again make its way to life?
Wow you took a while to reply!
whaaaaattt?
Wow, I joined the GA pilot community to be part of a higher (highest?) civilian standard. It's a toss up which is the bigger let down, some of these comments or 1 flight instructor gone mad. Don't fret folks, U.S. is still the greatest country, just ask 'anyone' not living here. I listened to the raw audio. IMHO, no racism, just a hot-head narcissistic flight instructor deluded into thinking he represents the gov't immigration service (alcohol? brain tumor?). Should have handled with respect and decorum, as with all things American. Both will face appropriate charges. My apologies to Chinese air-men and women, stay the course, keep coming to the U.S. for the best pilot training in the world, this is an isolated incident. Where's the story about thousands of Chinese pilots successfully trained in CA? If you need a refresher in respect and decorum, GO NAVY! Fast Boat Sonarman and Diver. Peace-out.
Most of the posters to these forums are not pilots.
Thanks Dan - what a relief!
