Freaky phone call...

[Qacer]

My friend has been getting the same phone call. I think it has been going on in the past few days, so I decided to look up the number on Google. The number matched a number to an aviator instructor. I looked further and searched for the pilot's name, Frank J. Gonzalez.

This is what came up on Google:

Impromptu Plane Ride Ends Tragically

PLANT CITY - It started with an Iowa tourist's wish to see Cedar Key from the air at night. It ended with the airplane crashing into the Gulf of Mexico, killing all three people on board: the tourist, 47-year-old Julia Kelly; Plant City pilot Frank Gonzalez; and John Borchard, owner of a Dover produce company.

The death toll in the crash, just after midnight June 7, could have been higher.

When the 2004 Cessna 206 left Plant City Airport sometime after 7 p.m. June 6, there were six people on board: Gonzalez, 48; Borchard, 43; a newly married couple, Jacob, 23, and Melissa Raburn, 22; and another couple, Shane, 25, and Nikki Hinton, 23, Cedar Key officials said.

Borchard, who owned JMB Bros. Produce Co. in Dover, was taking the newlyweds to Cedar Key to celebrate their recent marriage. Cedar Key police Chief Virgil Sandlin said there was a mixture of sadness and relief that more people weren't in the single-engine Cessna.

"If it was mechanical or equipment failure that brought this plane down, there could have been six people on board when the plane crashed," Sandlin said.

Josh Shackelford, a lineman at Plant City Airport, topped off the gas tanks on the Cessna before it took off.

"I just put 15 or 16 gallons in the plane," Shackelford said. "The plane holds almost 80 gallons. It was full of aviation fuel when they left."

Martin Pure, the owner and manager of Plant City Airport Services, said the flight from Plant City to Cedar Key would have taken about an hour.

Pure said the plane has a 400-mile range with a full tank.

The regular pilot used by Borchard, the Cessna's owner, was unavailable that day. Gonzalez, a certified pilot and part-time flight instructor at Plant City Airport, was flying in the area and "agreed to make the flight to Cedar Key," Pure said.

Maybe his phone is on autopilot.

I meant to say was that the phone number matched a pilot's name in Plant City, FL, which is just a few minutes away from Tampa. The voicemail was someone asking for his wife to pick him up. I was going to record it, but it was deleted already. It was something like, "Hey, honey, I'm here. Pick me up. 'Luv ya."

Its been just over six months, so his phone number probably just got out of cool down and has been assigned to someone else. I assume you got the name by googling/white paging the number. Both of those would still turn up old listings to that number and probably don't have the new owner's info.
