Well......not much to learn from the crash it self, simply ran out of fuel, but the circumstances are absolutely shocking !
According to Danish media, the police in Germany, the US and Poland would also like to have a word with the chap.

I wonder where this pilot learned, though? It is obvious from the landing late in the clip (shot from the exterior) that he can land the aircraft pretty decently. And he's obviously done numerous IFR filed flights according to reports all over Europe without arousing ATC suspicion. A Cessna you can pick up being a simmer, but you can't really do that with a Learjet 24. They're notoriously high strung and need to be flown very precisely. Guy looks (and is according to report) Iranian - is it possible he learned to fly in the Iranian military? Do they have Lear's?
