they were on the phone with him for some time, or communicating with him for some time and on and off we re told, right newspaper now, we don t know and cannot confirm all of that, but we know that he could be running out of fuel in this beechcraft vehicle that it s in. a beechcraft air 90 turbo-prop, depending on speed and whereabouts in condition up to five hours. he s up to that limit and we re told by a number of pilots depending on the conditions and if you re relatively low and you re flying like this, presumably go a lot longer. we ll keep an eye on it if we keep reporting. his goal is or was to crash into a local walmart. again, his beef with that walmart anyone s guess and residents have taken precautions and moved outside of their home. and tupelo is a fairly large area in and of itself.
a plane, a beechcraft turbo-prop, owned by a local doctor and took it over tupelo and flying around and around and around and flight tracker is keeping track of what he s up to. hope he hasn t been making good on his threat, but he s running out of fuel in the process. charles watson is in mississippi. neil, obviously, this is a developing situation we were here in jackson, mississippi covering the water crisis when we started seeing reports of a man flying low and a plane circling a walmart this morning. we were told from tube low police they started receiving reports this morning of the low-flying plane. people were concerned with what they saw so they decided to put a call in to police. we re told by police that that pilot later got into contact with police and threatened to
