Plane attacks man. Plane 1 Man 0

That's when the NTSB hands the investigation over to the FBI instead of the FAA -- and that doesn't make things better for the pilot.

Truly. A pilot who uses his airplane to attack someone doesn't belong in the sky, unless they are in the military and acting under the orders of a superior officer.
 
And for good reason. It's not like he had trouble seeing over the nose or anything. Someone failed to act with due diligence.

Reminds me of a time when I was taking off from the now closed Carmel Valley Airport. After I completed my runup and was in position for takeoff, I saw some kids on the other end of the runway, looking in my direction. They were just standing there, and I guess they thought I was going to take off while they were there, but no way! I just waited, and eventually they moved off the runway.
