The FAA has revoked the pilot certificate of YouTuber Trevor Jacob, saying he operated his 1940 Taylorcraft in a “careless and reckless manner” during a highly viewed stunt that led to the loss of the aircraft in a California national forest last November.
In the 13-minute video titled “I Crashed My Airplane,” Jacob claimed the aircraft’s engine had quit, and he was forced to parachute to safety. The pilotless airplane went down in the Los Padres National Forest.
