I hate to point out but in Aviation every plane in the air has to have a flight plan. So the odds of someone figuring out the plane hasn't checked in with any tower and didn't reach it's destination will be notice and a Search & Rescue will be put out. NTSB (the national transportation and saftey board) and FAA will be looking. I couldn't grasp that the flare gun was empty!!
Apparently! the pilot sucks and didn't do his safety checks before flight. WHATEVER! Unreal....annoying.
