An unlicensed student pilot flies from Kansas to Florida (you can imagine what you may pick up in Florida) then lands on highway after running out of fuel. Intoxicated, felony possession of a controlled substance, felony unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of marijuana and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

Piper PA-28-161 Warrior II, owned by Warrior Aviation LLC, registration N2945Q, ran out of fuel (fuel exhaustion) and landed Interstate 70 east of Grain Valley, Missouri. The airplane sustained unspecified damage. The sole pilot onboard received minor injuries.

The highway patrol said the pilot was found to be intoxicated. He was treated at a local hospital for minor injuries and arrested.

Flight records indicate the craft took off from Wheeler Downtown Airport in Kansas City Thursday at 3 a.m. and flew to Daytona Beach, FL, with brief stops in Mississippi and Alabama along the way. It then turned around and headed back to Kansas City, stopping in Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas and Warrensburg, MO.

Highway patrol arrest records later identified the pilot as 35-year-old John Seesing, of Prairie Village. He was facing charges of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, felony possession of a controlled substance, felony unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of marijuana and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.
