24-year-old pilot lands on Queens beach; jokes at JFK air traffic controllers.
"Just let us know if we're up in your grill," Jason Maloney, 24, radioed to an air-traffic controller minutes before his single-propeller plane's emergency landing, according to an audio recording of the interaction.

Whether it was for the girl specifically or to show that he can attempt to destroy a 6 figure object at will because he knows there will be no consequences is really a side thought. Bottom line, this douche does not deserve to keep his ticket. The audio paints a clear picture of a reckless kid who showed no regard for the safety of his passengers or the citizens on the ground.
But that has nothing to do with the indecent, it sounds like a jab at jealousy.
Personally, I think rich, privileged or spoiled just about covers it. Don't know of too many poor, underprivileged kids flying planes these days.
@horace it was in the water, so i am going to say, they put it on a flat bed truck, and trucked it back to it home base. as for the insurance claim?? if i were the adjuster on this one, DENIED!!
What really frosts me is that there could have been people on the beach or in the surf (yes, even in April in NY) and he could have killed someone on the ground. He is lucky no-one got hurt. Was he on drugs or alcohol? Well, the police had him and saw no reason to test, I guess. He should lose his pilot's license over this, no question about that.
