    Another thing not possible....no commercial airliner of any kind especially a single engine piston powered Cessna is capable of flying to 120,000 feet!

    FYI, this clown even took the plane higher than it's 13,000 FT ceiling limit. Not to mention, he didn't have any oxygen on board and was most likely suffering partially from hypoxia.

    He was simply starving for attention and got his 15 minutes of fame on CNN. If he really was suicidal, he would have simply crashed the plane instead of skillfully landing it on a country dirt road surrounded by tall trees, then running to that corner store for beef jerky and trying to evade authorities.

    yeah, I have no idea how far planes can fly. I just threw numbers out there. Thought that was obvious

    Just thought I would clarify. You have no idea the stuff I've heard over the years.

    I had a guy ask me once if I could fly him from Toronto to Fort Lauderdale FLA. He was too cheap to pay the round trip fare of approximately $500CDN. When I told him I could but it would cost $2500 and take about 6.5 to 7 hours each way in a small single engine, he looked at me like I had 3 heads and just about dropped dead.
