...does not equal a happy ending.
On the one hand, we seem to have violated a bunch of rules and wreaks of classic teenage behavior that could have just as easily been a car.
On the other hand, if he was just short of his private ticket (and there's implications this was his training plane), it might be more complex than that. (Yeah, going straight to PPL MEL is unusual).
...and thirdly- the media coverage has been 'beautiful'- one article pictures a tail-dragger...I would not be surprised to see that they got incorrect information on it being a twin. They say night and overcast and that he was not rated for night...but how high is the overcast and who says he's rated for day flight either? (he's not!).
