Spinoff: Cory Lidle got his pilots license a few days ago
According to The Washington Post:
A law enforcement official in Washington, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Lidle was on the plane. And Federal Aviation Administration records showed the single-engine plane was registered to the athlete, who just days ago _ after the Yankees' humiliating elimination from the playoffs _ told reporters that he was getting his pilot's license.
He explained to reporters the process of getting a pilot's license, and said he intended to fly back to California in several days and planned to make a few stops. Lidle disccused the plane crash of John F. Kennedy Jr. and how he had read the accident report on the National Transportation Safety Board Web site.
Lidle, acquired from the Philadelphia Phillies on July 30, told The New York Times last month that his four-seat Cirrus SR20 plane was safe.
"The whole plane has a parachute on it," Lidle said. "Ninety-nine percent of pilots that go up never have engine failure, and the 1 percent that do usually land it. But if you're up in the air and something goes wrong, you pull that parachute, and the whole plane goes down slowly."

Re: Spinoff: Cory Lidle got his pilots license a few days ago
i think its soo weird that he wouldnt pull the parachute, i guess we will never know...just b/c he just got his license doesnt mean hes "new" at all fo this, it takes hrs and hrs of flight time to get that license and its hard to pass regulations and tests..
so sad for this to happen

On the news it said that he got his license 7 months ago & he already had 400 hours in the air
That is what I heard too.
I think we are going to hear so many conflicting reports.

On the press conf with bloomberg, he said there were 2 passengers. 1. flight instructor 2. student with 75 hours. He would not confirm or deny if Cor Lidle was on the plane as next of kin have not yet been notified.

Re: Spinoff: Cory Lidle got his pilots license a few days ago
I heard on 880 AM that he had gotten his license about a year ago, but he only had 75 hours in the air.
There are so many different stories, but the conclusion is the same. A man is dead. Never mind that he was a baseball player. He was a son, a husband and a father.
