Ethan Guo ordered to pay $30,000 and banned from Chile for three years.
Sounds too high, and too stiff. The pilot made a mistake without hurting anyone or himself. Sounds like we all need to stay away from Chile; bent on stealing from tourists who work outside the mark. Who will straiten the Chilean government out? AOPA? This is just wrong! Very bad publicity for Chile! Which they do not need. Who will tell them?
Sorry, Ethan, but according to the geographer wonks who make a living worrying about such things, there are actually, officially, eight continents.
