I thought that too... it's almost like a drug-runner's instruction manual, that report. Concerned about fuel? Sounds like he was more concerned about landing at an airport with customs on the premises. Trying to get into an unlit grass strip with nothing but a (here's one I prepared earlier) car as guidance... ho-hum.

Although it is clear to most what this genius was 'actually' up to, the above statement is sailing fairly close to the wind in terms of defamatory effect. Has the pilot been arrested, charged or worse in respect of the flight or the events surrounding it? If not, it appears that the above statement cannot be defended in terms of libel.
Maybe the mods should have some regard to the frankness of the above statement and tone it down a tad. Don't mean to be a bit of a moan but I've seen at first instance the repercussions of such a statement.
