Just got wind of this... I wonder if it is ONLY a stolen plane or there is something more to this.

A pilot who allegedly stole a Cessna plane from a Canadian flight school and was pursued for hours across the Midwest by fighter jets, was taken into custody after he landed on a Missouri highway late today and took off running, an FBI spokesman said. The pilot landed the single engine Cessna 172 on U.S. Highway 60 in Ellsinore, Mo., at approximately 9:50 p.m. ET, and was caught by Missouri State Highway Patrol officers, FBI spokesman Rich Kolko said. The pilot was identified as Yavuz Berke, formerly known as Adam Leon, a 31-year-old naturalized Canadian citizen who was born in Turkey, Kolko said. |

Burke was apparently treated for depression last Friday and left his girlfriend a good-bye note, Canadian officials told the U.S. Government. Berke's vehicle was left at the airport in Canada with the keys still in it. |
