Are you at Echo? I don't know the guy personally so I can't really comment.
He apparently was very apologetic according tot the various news reports and
didn't deny his mistake. Facts are facts though. The guy is in serious need
of pilotage training and needs to make use of the Terminal chart! In the
meantime, he should invest in a nice handheld GPS if they don't take his
ticket away.

I just hope this incident won't have permanent effects on our privileges in
NY or on GA in general. The Hudson River airspace exists on fragile grounds
as it is.

Drop over some time and strike up a conversation. I'd love to know if
this
guy is as much of a nimrod as this flight would seem to indicate.
