Pilot Spots Home Being Burglarized

@johndonaldson lol i totally agree with you. He sure got lucky!

I knew a helicopter pilot who went by his house after covering a news story and happened to see some guys breaking into his house. He landed right there and had them put everything back. Thieves may do some bold things, but they weren't bold enough to tangle with this big guy!

Good catch. Love the value of GA.

He was not the pilot, however I believe it was the pilot who initially saw the odd activity, asked Steve Lynn [the passenger], and was able to assist law enforcement by giving turn-by-turn directions. Perhaps the pilot has a new part-time career. Great teamwork with a successful outcome!

@Tim: You are joking right??

burglarized: past participle, past tense of bur·glar·ize
Verb: Enter (a building) illegally with intent to commit a crime, esp. theft.

What does Burglarized mean

Thank God he was there in time to catch these guys!

"BAY, Ark. (AP) — An Arkansas man who wanted to capture aerial photos of his home during his first plane ride instead helped catch two men burglarizing it." - The guy was not piloting the plane, he was a passenger.

i would have buzzed them. and called 911, "ahh hi, im flying my plane and i see these two guys robbing my house and Im buzzing them. can you get some cops over here"? haha

What John said.

Interesting. Though, the article never says that the man who's home was being burglarized, was piloting the plane. What i get from the article is that some dude wanting to see his home from an airplane, saw his home being burglarized... just as the title of the article says.

What a lucky dude!!

Surely I'm not the only one that thinks this story sounds a little fishy.

John, you are my hero!!

Now that's something!

I like the way you think John.

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

We are now shooting feral hogs from the air...do you suppose burglars might not be even better targets? They seem to breed as fast as the hogs, but you tend not to get attached to them...kind of like lawyers.
