-Caveat Lector- XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1999 15:21:09 ET XXXXX PILOT LAST TO SEE KENNEDY WARNED: 'HE'S GOING TO KILL HIMSELF ONE DAY IN THAT AIRPLANE' Kyle Bailey, 25, a merchandising analyst from Cedar Grove, N.J., and a pilot flying from this airport for 13 years, said he saw Kennedy and his wife at about 8 p.m. last night at the airport. Bailey tells Sunday's NEW YORK TIMES that he saw Kennedy's plane took off heading south, then turned west and then headed northwest, toward Martha's Vineyard. Bailey, who flew to Martha's Vineyard two weeks ago, said the ocean route can be hazardous, especially at night. "Flying over the ocean at night isn't the safest feeling. I know that route and at night with fog it can become dangerous," the pilot tells the paper. "I went home to my family and said, 'He's going to kill himself one day in that airplane.' I mean, it was really a hazy night,'" Bailey said. According to publishing sources, the TIMES will report that Bailey watched as Kennedy walked around the outside of the airplane and then went through a routine series of preflight checks. "Bailey said he noticed one unusual thing about Kennedy's preflight check. Usually pilots take their planes down the runway a bit to do their engine `rev-ups,' to avoid creating too much noise in the parking area. But he said Kennedy did his rev-ups in the parking space." Bailey tells the paper: "The impression I got was maybe there was something wrong with the plane. It just caught my attention, like, 'Why is he doing this here?'" Developing... X X X X X XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1999 14:01:22 ET XXXXX FAMILY AND FRIENDS WORRIED ABOUT JOHN FLYING PLANE Family and friends of John Kennedy Jr. worried about him piloting his private plane. "We used to joke that he was taking his life into his hands when he went flying," a devastated GEORGE magazine staffer told the DRUDGE REPORT. Maurice Templesman, Jackie's Onassis's longtime friend, told close associates that he was worried sick about Kennedy flying solo. Kennedy recently traded up to a more sophisticated plane -- only two weeks ago. He had only 100 hours of piloting. "The only person I've been able to get to go up with me, who looks forward to it as much as I do, is my wife," Kennedy said in an interview with USA TODAY. "The second it was legal she came up with me.... now whenever we want to get away, we can just get in a plane and fly off." The NEW YORK POST reported last year that members of the Kennedy clan, including Ted, have politely declined John Jr.'s offers to fly in his plane. "Several pals, mindful of the family's tragic history, have tried to curb his sky-high appetite," the POST reported. "He was a big fan of extreme sports," a GEORGE magazine staffer said on Saturday. Not long ago, Kennedy flew to South Dakota to pose at Mt. Rushmore for a photo to go with an essay had written. While he was there, Kennedy asked if he could rappel down Rushmore. Park officials said no. ----------------------------------------------------------- Filed by Matt Drudge Reports are moved when circumstances warrant http://www.drudgereport.com for breaks and updates (c)DRUDGE REPORT 1999 DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
