Authorities: Pilot Of Stolen Plane Was Trying To Commit Suicide

The pilot hadn't communicated with authorities through the entire flight over three states. The incident caused the state Capitol in Madison to be evacuated as a precaution as the plane flew through that section of Wisconsin Monday.

State police in Missouri said that Adam Dylan Leon, 31, told them he was afraid to kill himself and was hoping to get shot down by U.S. fighter jets.

Leon has been charged with transportation of stolen property and illegal entry into the United States. Leon was arrested Monday in Missouri.

Investigators said Leon stole the Cessna 172 at a flight school in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and flew it from Canada into the United States. Authorities said Leon entered U.S. airspace over Michigan and headed south into Wisconsin, which is when two F-16 fighter pilots from the Wisconsin Air National Guard were dispatched to tail the plane.

Just like i have said about the idiot who went into the state building (NY) last Friday... if he wanted to kill himself, by all means just do it! but to risk others lives in the process??

I'm sure glad that ended the way it did & no one was hurt.
