Bugger. Where the hell did he end up. The man has been out over the edge in so many ways, but seems to have lost it on a simple short hop of a flight. American FCC might take a leaf from the Aussie book in that respect. Not one aircraft leaves the ground here without first filing a flight plan. A half hour hop, from Adelaide to Murray Bridge, for instance is not flown without a flight plan. Commercial is all planned well in advance of course, but private flying, you go outside your local airport control, you file a flight plan. That simple, that safe.
