- ALT1:... that Regional safety inspector Neal Savoy was reported to have said, "We know he broke some part of the Federal Aviation Act, and as soon as we decide which part it is, some type of charge will be filed. If he had a pilot's license, we'd suspend that, but he doesn't."? Source

- Sorry, but it's not eligible. It's not a Good article, and, although there have been recent edits, there's been zero recent expansion (a fivefold expansion would be required). Please see WP:DYK for more information. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 22:46, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
