I think it was a professional hit by that Bangladesh girl on Dateline last week who made .15/hr
The list of people that wanted that guy dead is probably as long as the line at a Wal-Mart Customer Service counter.

[quote="Electromatic"the guy had loads of money, why is he flying an ultralight?[/quote]
Cause daddy was using the leer jet? Cause he wanted to tempt fate? Cause everybody knows that "ultra-heavy" aircraft don't fly that well? Cause that pretty boy JFK Jr has been hogging all the People magazine coverage for the last decade. Goddamit when is it gonna be John Walton's turn?!
