Student pilot in deadly plane crash had cocaine in system, officials say
2018-06-30
[FOX] A student pilot seated in the front of a doomed flight -- that was also carrying an Instagram model and social media stars -- had cocaine in his system when the plane crashed on an Arizona golf course in April, the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office said Wednesday.

James Pedroza, 28, was one of the six people killed in the April 9 wreck. The Piper PA-24 Comanche crashed shortly after takeoff on the Champions Course located north of the Scottsdale Airport, AZ Central reported. The National Transportation Safety Board said the plane had six seats.

#7  It's just like that old folk song:
Flying that plane,
High on cocaine,
Casey Jones, you better check the altimeter.

Not saying it'll be easy, but I'll try to carry on.

Killed Patsy Cline, too. Well, it and Trump.

#2  That 17 is a great short par 4 and is downhill all the way. Hold my joint and I'll take her down for a closer look.

#1  What was the student pilot doing carrying passengers? That is what you get to do when you earn your private pilot’s license.
