Doesn't seem worth it to give your son's friend a joy ride, does it? Looks like Tudor couldn't do much for him since it was such a blatent violation, but it definately makes you wonder. There wasn't any clear danger (this time), so the prosecution of the pilot seems more vengeful than anything else. Kind of a, "How dare you... we're gonna show you, now" agenda.
Granted... mess with the bull and you should expect to get the horns. Blowing off TFR's and busting airspace makes us all look like a bunch of cowboys, and it was pretty darn irresponsible - which he admits. Nevertheless, the prosecution seems overly eager to throw the book at this pilot.
Why? I'm sure Tudor can't say, but I would guess that there is something more behind the scene than meets the eye.
