Teen pilot crashes plane into Tampa skyscraper
A 15 year old student pilot flew a four seat Cessna 172R from National Aviation Flight School without clearance. A Coast Guard helicopter signaled him to land but he did not respond. The plane struck the Bank of America building, killing one person. Two F 15 aircraft were scrambled from Homestead as a precaution.
