It seems he was flying over populated areas of Las Vegas and the strip, lost control, it landed at the airport.

Burciaga said. "That’s half of my year’s paycheck for trying to take a picture.”

First reaction: Seems he doesn't get it. Fine raised to $20K.

Mr. Clueless should consider himself lucky he didn't get some free lodging in a Government facility.

And that it didn't set down on an active runway.

Morons like this hurt all of us!

I wonder how it flew past the GEO FENCE?
