I looked into it, he tried to obstruct the investigation in order to keep his license. He also lied about the plane malfunctioning which is a serious offense that could impact the safety of others due to how crash investigations are handled (if it was engine error that could cause a recall to fix a nonexistent issue and could hurt people). That said, twenty years is wild
And apparently was also during the dry season at a national park, so fire safety regulations were taken into effect considering he intentionally did this
But it does make sense. Imagine if a plane crashed into a farm and killed the farmer, then the pilot removes key evidence that they'd modified their plane to crash for a stunt. That's where the 20 years would come into play.
This idiot obstructed the investigation but because the only victim was an antique airplane, he's not going to get more than 4 years at the very most.
Are you serious? He bailed from a plane midflight! The fact that no one got hurt doesn't mean what he did was safe, just that he got lucky no one happened to be in the path of the plane he sent falling out of control!!
Aviation laws are strict for a reason
Yeah but what did he really do, like no one was hurt right?

20 years is the maximum sentence, he'll get less.

He’s an influencer, that’s reason enough for 20 years
