A "BD-5 jet" has just gone down near Ottawa, possibly killing the unknown pilot: http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2006/06/16/plane-crash.html?ref=rss Somegeek 17:43, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of section
However heart touching or well written the section on Scott Manning is, I feel that it should be removed from this piece for a few reasons:
- Wikipedia is not the format for things of this nature. Not only does this violate POV rules, it also conflicts with wikipedia's mission as a source for facts and information.
- This section is also written in the first person, which both exaggerates the POV of the piece and, once more, conflicts with wikipedia’s encyclopedia nature.
- And finally, it is, quite frankly, not really relevant information on the airplane itself.
If anyone wants to make an entry on the pilot or the incident, please do, and link to it in this entry. I just don’t think that this section really works...

- I agree with Schuyler s. on all points. However, I felt that the section had enough interesting content, and that Scott was noteworthy enough to support a new article. I have copied the most-developed version of the section from this article's history and (with very minor edits) used it to create Scott Manning. It still suffers from all the flaws that Schuyler s. noted. I hope that the original author and others interested in Scott will develop it in to a complete article according to Wikipedia conventions.
