Just being reported now from Tupelo, Mississippi.
Pilot stole a large vintage aircraft and is saying he plans to crash it into a Walmart store.
Walmarts in the area have been evacuated.
Police are talking by radio to him now...

A pilot flying a small plane over Tupelo, Mississippi has threatened to crash into a Walmart, authorities warned Saturday. The Tupelo Police Department said it was notified around 5 am this morning that a pilot flying what a “King Air type” airplane was considering the crash landing into a Walmart located on West Main street. Authorities have confirmed the plane, which is believed to have been stolen, is a fixed-wing multi-engine 1987 Beech C90A model.

Authorities said they have evacuated the Walmart and a Dodges eatery and gas station located near the shopping center to disperse people “as much as practical.” Roads in west Tupelo and near the airport have been reopened and the pilot was last reported to be flying near a Toyota plant in Blue Springs, an area northeast of Tupelo, according to local reporting.

According to his facebook messages

i dont think that is going to happen..

we dont know his skills as a pilot either

maybe the only thing he knows to do is crash....

they should get him on the phone with his family.....
i bet negotiators are thinking of that..

he mentions how he loved them on facebook and apologized
so there might be a slight chance of hope..

if he does crash lets hope its solo..

I guess the info about it being a WWII-era aircraft was a mistake in the initial reporting?

Cheers

Flight tracker showing him leaving the area he was circling.
Now @900 ft.

AH, there you have a double edged sword. If it was a UFO (as a reply to one of my posts last week) it would be classed as a security threat, therefore shoot it down. Just because it's identified, leave it alone. Not withstanding it's a security threat to the population to the people of Mississippi but they don't count.
