This reminds me of the now deseaced Pop star Aaliyah who died in a plane crash coming from the Bahamas because;

1) The Pilot didn caculate the amount of fuel he would need for the journey bearing in mind weight he was carrying (Pop star, her stuff, her enotourage, their stuff,


2) Don't remember the details but the Piot had been convicted of some drug felon and was flying some sort of twin Engine Cessna Caravan with all the experience behind him of PPL without an IR (I'm starting to use these abbrevaitions like a pro)

But of course these matters didn't mean much to the pop star until the Pilot said

'Uh Oh!

The plane went down shorty after take off and as a result the victims familis families in compensation were entiled to the middle part of donut because the Pilot in question was only qualified to fly a singe engine aircrfat and probably a loawn mower.

Pax beware
