What: AvioCharter red and white Colombian-registered Cessna 402C Utililiner
Where: Punta de Ocote, Morazán, Yoro, Honduras
When: Dec 5, 2009

Scotland Yard Nabs Drunken Pilot

United pilot Erwin Vermont Washington, of Lakewood, Colorado, was pulled literally out of the cockpit and arrested on Monday.

Officers were called to London’s Heathrow Airport to remove the pilot who is accused of being drunk. British law forbids pilots from having more than .02 percent blood alcohol. If convicted, the pilot could be jailed for 2 years. .02 percent could be as little as 1/2 of a beer.

In May, a Southwest Airlines pilot was arrested after flunking a breath test; and in January in Ohio, a pilot called in sick after witnesses reported he appeared to have been drinking.
