Vincent Perry+FollowCEO’s Wild Ride Ends in TragedyEver dreamed of living life on the edge? ICON Aircraft’s CEO, Kirk Hawkins, took that literally—he died wingsuit flying from a helicopter in the Swiss Alps. The guy built planes for a living and pushed boundaries for fun. It’s a reminder: thrill-seeking can inspire innovation, but sometimes the risks are real.

Donald Wilson+FollowPlane got stolen twice in one week??? 😂 What the hellA guy in California had his Cessna 172 stolen twice in the same week!!! Anyone else think this is insane?? 😂 First time it turned up at another airport with a dead battery. So the owner told the airport's manager that he'd come back in a few days with a fresh battery. However, the plane went missing again and was found at an airport roughly 12 miles west of downtown Los Angeles. These small planes often don’t have locks and security at small airports seems almost non-existent. But come on, I mean, how can you just take off with a plane like. twice!? How the hell is stealing a plane this easy?😂 #AviationNews #PlaneTheft #Traffic #AirplaneDrama #Cessna #AirportSecurity #WildNews 01Share
