AKRON, Ohio – So, a Piper PA-28 decided to become a lawn dart in Akron, taking out a house and two would-be aviators in the process. Surprise, surprise. The FAA and NTSB are on the scene, probably scratching their heads and blaming the inevitable “pilot error.” You know, because planes just spontaneously decide to dive headfirst into bungalows.

Let’s be real, folks. General aviation is basically the Wild West of the skies. You’ve got weekend warriors flying planes older than your grandma, and the FAA is too busy regulating drone pilots to actually make sure these guys aren’t a danger to society.

American Winds College of Aeronautics wants you to know their planes are “safe in their hangars.” Well, good for them. Maybe they should teach their students how to, you know, not turn a residential neighborhood into a smoking crater.

The Left is already screeching about “unregulated airspace” and “environmental justice,” as if that has anything to do with a plane turning into a fiery lawn ornament. They’ll probably try to ban private aviation next, because freedom is scary.

Meanwhile, the NTSB will spend the next year “investigating” and come up with some vague conclusion that blames everything except the obvious: that some yahoo in a Cessna thought he was Maverick and forgot to pull up.

Let's not forget Topgolf across the street -- I'm sure the patrons got a real show with their overpriced range balls. Honestly, crashing into a house is probably the most interesting thing to happen in Akron since… well, ever.

The victims? Yeah, tragic. But hey, at least they went out with a bang. Literally. And maybe this will finally get the FAA to do something other than write parking tickets for rich guys with private jets. Doubtful, but one can hope.

So, pour one out for the fallen flyers, and remember: aviation is a privilege, not a right. And maybe, just maybe, it’s time to start requiring pilots to pass a basic IQ test before letting them loose in the sky. Just a thought.

In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled for falling aircraft, folks. You never know when the skies will turn into a demolition derby. And if you happen to live near an airport, consider investing in a good bomb shelter. You know, just in case.
