The pilot who, according to authorities, abandoned his plane in flight, after sending a false distress call, has been returned to custody in Escambia County, Florida and is being held in the County jail, awaiting an appearance in court next week. Schrenker's pilotless plane crashed in Milton near several homes, a few miles from the Gulf of Mexico. Schrenker was later arrested in Quincy, Florida, treated for an injury to his wrist, and is now back in jail awaiting his day in court.

This is one self centered egotistical SOB is all I can say.  I have read articles about him from his hometown paper and so many talked about what a great guy he was and how he was so involved in charities and on and on.  I guess it is easy to be a great guy on other peoples money. I personally think the guy is an adrenaline junky that loved the “Attention” he got and when it was all falling out from around him he couldn’t stand it.

I have 2 aunts and several cousins that live close to the crash site and it just hacks me to no end that this guy had no regard for anyone’s welfare.  You cannot tell me if he is this accomplished of a pilot that he did not figure his fuel consumption correctly….. 

I hope he enjoys the 3 squares a day, his cot and his little cell.  I mean it is not a 4 million dollar mansion but he will have to adjust.

I’d hate to be in his shoes! You know how many lives he put in danger letting an unattended airplane crash to the ground. It could have landed on top of Mc.Donalds, Wal-Mart, a School, or some other highly populated area! Not to mention he’s gonna have to pay back all the money used to search for him. WOW, the extremes some thieves go through just to make a dollar! shut eye

For someone who tried to kill himself he sure doesn’t look too bad off.  I mean he’s not pale or yellow looking like someone who has lost a lot of blood.  JMO
