i have a hard time caring about someone who cares nothing about flying drunk and what if....he killed a whole family when he crashed...so, so sad ...folks just will not stop drinking and......just crazzzy!!!!

JETS, not JEST....obviously....

Private jest have a prop? Since when? LOL! Unless we start giving a breathalyzer to anyone getting ready to operate ANYTHING, there will always be some Mo-Ron who will drive or fly or operate machinery while intoxicated.

it does not say what he tested at other then he admitted he been drinking.

What possessed this guy to climb into the pilot's seat when he was drunk? The FAA does NOT mess around. He spent years and many dollars getting his pilot's license, and now he will NEVER fly again. They won't even let this guy stand on a tall ladder.

His flying days are over and his insurance is probably canceled as well.

bjoh249- are you serious? Do you have any idea what you just said? It is obvious you don't have the slightest clue of what is going on. Its FAA, it was a private plane not a private jet, and the pilot right now is in for a world of hurt from the FAA like you wouldn't imagine. This isn't like driving a car. The reason you don't hear about stuff like this in aviation is because the rules and restrictions are way far greater than jumping into an automobile. Then when one is involved in something like this, the punishment is far greater.

That dunce could have hurt somebody on the ground. The FFA needs to crack down on these private jets that anybody can fly without security and other checks first.

I'd say he couldn't have been too drunk if he knew he was going down and shut off his fuel lines! Lesson learned????
