This is from today's AVweb: BRAZIL -- A man convinced a pilot Thursday to take himself and his 5- year-old daughter on an aerial sightseeing tour, but forced the pilot out at gunpoint on the runway, prior to takeoff in Brazil. At that point, Kleber Barosa da Silva took control of the aircraft. Da Silva, who was being sought for his alleged rape of a 13-year-old girl, then flew the aircraft for more than an hour.

In the end, Da Silva, 31, crashed the aircraft into a mall's parking lot in Goiana, Brazil, killing himself and his daughter. It is not known if that was his intent, if he was aiming for the mall, or if the aircraft simply ran out of fuel. Earlier that day, Da Silva had argued with his wife, before forcing her out of a moving car and driving his daughter to the airport in Luziania, where the incident's deadly second act began would begin. Police described Da Silva's flight as erratic, and Manoel Borges, the police commander in charge of the investigation told Reuters, "by our reading of what happened and his psychological state" his intent "was to smash into the shopping center." Was there any information as to if Da Silva had any training in flying? |

She was begging he to seek professional help. |

Force joins search for missing Helena airplane and pilot BY MARTIN J. KIDSTON Independent Record UPDATED 1:45 p.m. A search and rescue crew from Malmstrom Air Force Base arrived in Helena shortly after noon today to join the hunt for a missing Helena pilot and his plane. Sparky Imeson's Cessna 180 disappeared from radar in rugged terrain roughly 18 miles northwest of Bozeman around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. Search crews with the Montana Department of Transportation's aeronautics division spent this morning searching the east slope of the Elkhorn Mountains, where a cellular tower picked up a signal from Imeson's phone shortly after the plane dropped off Bozeman radar. "For the phone to receive that call, he'd have to be in that general location," said Mike Rogan, aviation support officer for MDT. "It was the closest tower. Someone tried to call him, but no one answered." Rogan, along with Jeanne MacPherson, the bureau chief coordinator for MDT, went out Tuesday night after getting word of the plane's disappearance. The department's search plane is specially equipped to spot an Emergency Locator Transmitter, or ELT, which acti-vates when an aircraft goes down. "We went out immediately and did a route search," MacPherson said. "We went to Bozeman, landed, and flew the route back." MDT launched several aircraft early this morning hoping good visibility would reveal the aircraft. Rogan said the search is being concentrated on the east slope of the Elkhorn Mountains, in particular, a deep drainage cut by Beaver Creek. Rogan and Ken Wilhelm, an air mechanic with MDT, flew one of this morning's missions. Other aircraft from Bozeman joined the hunt. "You're looking for an airplane that could be in the trees," Wilhelm said. "It's all snow in here. You've got standing lodgepole trees. You've got downed trees. You've got short trees. Anything that looks straight on the ground, you look at it again, and you see two trees lying at 90 degrees." The aeronautics division is a busy yet somber place today. Most of the searchers know Imeson. They notified both Lewis and Clark and Broadwater county sheriff offices of the pilot's disappearance. MacPherson said Imeson had not filed a flight plan before leaving Bozeman on Tuesday afternoon. Montana pilots only need to do so if traveling more than 250 nautical miles. But radar suggests that Imeson was flying a direct route between Bozeman and Helena, one that would have taken him over the Horseshoe Hills near the south end of the Big Belt Mountains. |
