Glad to hear this. Perhaps it will dissuade other RUclipsr stunting idiots. We don't need his kind in general aviation - we have enough challenges as it is.
Let’s save the dangerous stunts for views at airshows. May all those pilots who lost their lives at air shows around the world in 2023 Rest In Peace. 🙏😔
Well it damn sure isn't gonna dissuade anybody from destroying evidence, eh?...smh
Didn't anyone learn the lesson w/Martha Stewart? Don't lie to the feds, #1. Not talking to them is something else ...
Dissuede anyone else??? Are you kidding? For all the criminal acts he did, he only got a paltry 6 month sentence! What a joke.
@@markstone1619 Cite the statute for the criminal act(s)?
In addition to the prison sentence, I suspect he had big attorney bills, threw away a good airplane, is permanently recognized as an idiot in the aviation community, no insurance company will deal with him, and he might have trouble finding good paying employment.. Thanks for the recap on this.
Ten minutes before this video he just posted his own “explanation and apology” video. I had second hand embarrassment and couldn’t stop cringing through the whole video but it’s worth a watch just to see he really didn’t learn the lessons he probably should have.
Hmm, I wasn’t aware
Yup, he's a victim of his own stupidity. Typical ego of a narcissist.
can't find it.
@@swiftadventurer it’s titled I Got My Pilots License Back! But Going To Prison…
It's still up. ruclips.net/video/55JdKOFIecc/видео.html
Its a slap on the wrist sentence simply appalling.
Nah you’re just someone who takes pleasure in other people’s misery for whatever reason, whatever you’ve got going on. Reasonable people agree what he did was very wrong, and is deserving of punishment, but being that he didn’t hurt anyone, he doesn’t deserve to have his life completely destroyed. People get less than 6 months for attempted murder, aggravated assault, domestic violence, child abuse and many other offenses.
Six months is not enough! He premeditatedly committed a crime and should never be allowed to fly again!
Chill dude, every one maks stupid stuff once a while
@@karlgiel8891 It was premeditated stupidity and a careless criminal act, done for profit!
I’m sorry….. can one of you guys try to convince me that this was a criminal act? If he filed an insurance claim…yep….that would be criminal…… but I don’t think he did.
@@arthouston7361 To purposely and recklessly crash your airplane and then try to hide the evidence from the FAA. What would call it? Free destructive enterprise to get clicks and make money?!
@@richardbirkenwald811 Well, as you probably know, I don’t have access to the charging document, but I do have access to the history of law, and I do know that many laws, particularly federal laws, have been found to be unconstitutional, and I am forced to wonder… since no one is coughing up what he did here that was actually chargeable, is the federal government overreaching their power….?
Thank you for the update Dan. I'm glad he got more than a slap on the wrist. Enjoy your time with family. Keep up the excellent work. Safe skies my friend 🇺🇸🛩️
Give him at least 5 years and never let him behind the yoke again. If we let instatokgrammers think this crap is okay or at worst carries a slap on the wrist, private aviation in the US will become a nightmare.
Dan, You are Quick ! That was a Deadline job, good video Buddy.
No editing! That’s tough for me to do
@@TakingOff Also gotta recognise that this was (almost) one take, no stuttering, perfect delivery. You're my public speaking idol.
Even if the FAA were willing to “return” his certificate, I can’t imagine an instructor would sign off a BFR. Something I once heard about skills, attitude and judgment might get in the way. Thanks!
He has had his cert back since April of 23
@@redfox435catgood it means that he's paid his debt to society, so many think that a prison sentence or conviction = a lifetime of punishment. its for 6 months that's his debt to us, once he does that time he's a free man and you should be glad for that.
The FAA airman query shows he has a 3rd class medical issued 11/23 but no cert.
I wouldn't fly with him, and I suspect neither would many others. However, that is just a personal choice. There is no obligation on the part of CFIs to make such a generalized evaluation. If they pass the objective standards of the flight review, they are entitled to be signed off. It's the FAA's job to decide who has pilot certificates, and it appears they have made that decision.
This prison sentence has been brought to you by Ridge Wallet.... and stupidity.
He can learn all the lessons he wants but there's no cure for narcissism.
But the real question is: how is that christmas tree rotating while being lit. I feel like the cord would get tangled. haha
Im sure there is a rotary union with slip rings for the electricity to pass. Im not sure anybody would want that much electrical gear located below a tree stand that presumably has water in it. A tree moving that much is deeply unsettling. Xmas trees may be small and harmless but get a big balsam or blue spruce moving that much and people can easily die. Might as well have an animatronic shark behind his shoulder!
@@viridimontesDon't worry, I noticed Dan had a couple fire extinguishers strapped to his legs as well as a fire-proof sport parachute. If it starts on fire, Dan can handle it! Plus, he's got a few cameras just in case.
@@viridimontes Couldn't you put it above the stand but below the branches? Also, could be artificial.
As a serial liar, nothing he said means anything. Only 6 months is a sad joke.
Serial liar and a malignment narcissist.
As a serial liar, he'll probably end up in being a politician.
@@paulis7319 LOL, maybe he can run as VP for George Santos when they make a presidential bid.
I’m pretty sure some of my videos helped take him down (sawing off the boarding step shows premeditation), and some of the things I learned in my investigation make it sound like he deserves more than 6 months. I wasn’t in a position to do more at the time, but now I wish I had been.
Good morning from Minnesota. Thanks for the update. I say the 6mo is fitting for the crime. Also don't dismiss the fact that he has a felony. That's a really big deal.
Thank you for the update Dan. Thank GOD.
The mere fact of carrying a parachute invokes a determination of conscience that his intentions were not normal behavior. The intentional destruction of the aircraft against the ground, the false declaration of engine problems and the concealment of the place and subsequent removal of the parts do not agree with the sentence, even though he was declared guilty of it.
Six months is too little, should’ve gotten a full 20, especially considering the obstruction of justice that occurred by basically lying to investigators about the reality of the accident
Should be 6 years
That's our judicial system. Plea deals, short term sentences and the list goes on.
Hate to say it Dan, but you’ll be really annoyed if not downright angry after watching that video Trevor just posted. It’s ridiculous.
And yes he allegedly got his license back. How that happened, I have no idea. It’s infuriating.
I understand he came out as trans and made a big donation to the democrats although I doubt that had anything to do with it.
@@BruceLeigh-eu3wm why do you make stupid shit up?
Forget being a mentor for youth. Better to fade into obscurity.
I hate to laugh about this, but I'm laughing...
He gets 6 months, but not a single person went to prison for the fraud in the 2007 banking crises. Shows how the little guy gets squashed like a bug, but if your connected or wealthy worst thing ever get is probation. Not saying he should get a pass, but they wanted to make an example out of him.
Good to hear.
As a member of the skydiving community we too are appalled by Trevor's actions. I believe he should have his skydiving privileges revoked as well. He didn't do skydivers reputations any good either.
Six months in prison for this seems a bit extreme to me. He did it over an uninhabited area and no one was injured. He's got no priors and nothing bad ended up happening. A couple weeks in jail and a probation seems more appropriate.
Reading so many comments ready to tear up the guy makes me realize why we have such a freedom hating FAA and government. Way too many people want it that way. I’d much prefer people just be accountable for what they do, not for what they might do.
Some of y'all are too delusional
He's getting a light sentence for destroying evidence. He did it over a fire-prone national park that is lightly inhabited, but not unihabited, He deserves far worse than he got, and he's alreqady posting a video lying about getttin his license back, so he learned nothing,
re: "Six months in prison for this seems a bit extreme to me. "
Martha Stewart got what - years*? For lying to the feds ... too many ppl don't know the whole story here either.
* five months
He didn't get any prison time or punishment for the stunt. The 6 months is for what he did afterwards.
I like the sensorpush wifi gateway! I use those to monitor the temps of things all over the house.
LOL remember when Dan Gryder claimed he got texts from Trevor Jacob and that Trevor was totally innocent and only he and Dan were the ones smart enough to understand what happened?
judge should have forever taken away his ability to be onboard any aircraft registered or flown in the united states
I think its a fair sentence. He's a jerk but he doesn't deserve to have his life completely ruined.
Sad all the way around , the whole mess, what he did, to us pilots was unthinkable but had he not lied to the investigators he may have walked entirely.
I hope everyone who watches this is as excited about it as you appear to be. If his loss of his pilot's license isn't permanent, it ought to be, because he got off easy on the prison sentence. I wonder what ground-bound idiocy he'll video after he gets out of the pokey. Maybe he can set up a fake escape from prison and video that.
It sounds like once he's successfully completed the probation after the incarceration, that he can then reapply, but I really don't know.
Play stupid games...win stupid prizes.
The judge should have thrown the book at him. I believe the judge has that discretion and doesn't have to accept a plea deal. He should have lost his certificate permanently and did the full 20 years.
That's no yoke!
6 months seems a little light for murdering a defenseless Taylorcraft
Especially when it's premeditated
Six months is a wrist slap.
Justice??? Not one bit! What a joke. Both the Judge and Jacob deserve 20 year sentences!
People don't even get 20 years for murder..come on man
@@Dan007UT So the fact that some murderers are not served justice is reason that this narcissistic sicko fraud shouldn't be served justice? Got it. smh
It's pathetic that you don't have the 'capacity' to understand the dangers to others that he created with his 'stunt'.
There have also been ppl that have been given 20 year terms for possession of drugs, which you likely don't realize.
Justice for the aviation family but 6 months surely not enough
What ever happened to the red bull team that did a stunt and crashed a plane about a few months after this stunt?...did they get prison sentence?...i think they even asked the faa and got denied and did it anyway.
Seems like this sentence was not for the stunt, not for crashing the plane, but for the obstruction of justice following the crash. If that's the case, then I don't believe any of those circumstances apply to the Red bull team. I'm not saying that they shouldn't be punished for disobeying a direct instruction from the FAA, they absolutely should be. But you can't directly compare the two incidents, as there are certainly different factors at play.
Nobody was even talking about it but I said from the start that it was the removing of the wreckage that was going to get him. Everyone was going on about whether he really ran out of fuel or that he had plenty of places to land or why did he have a parachute or this and that: all things that are debatable and difficult to prove. But moving the wreckage is a big no no and something he admitted to. You only do that when necessary to save lives or to preserve wreckage from further damage that might hinder an investigation. Moving that wreckage was his downfall.
What's strange is that if he had just left the wreckage there the NTSB would have just said "engine failed for undetermined reasons" like they do in a lot of cases when there is an incident with no fatalities or serious injuries. They would probably not have even traveled to the site. He probably could have even helicoptered the aircraft to a hangar, preserved it, repaired it, and flew it again after the investigation.
This guy apparently didn't watch Colombo re-runs. It's always the "post-crime" activities that get the criminal caught.
He should have got the full 20 years if you ask me. He was careless for doing what he did which was 100% done as a stunt and put everyone within few miles at risk. Cause the aircraft he was using has a low stall speed so it could have glided for some time and caused harm to people or crash in a building.
He murdered that airplane! He should have of gotten more time in prison and should never be allowed to fly again!!!
WTF?! Trevor is bragging on his channel that he got his pilot’s license back. Can we find out all the people in the FAA that approved this?
Really? That would be against the plea agreement he signed
@@TakingOff ruclips.net/video/55JdKOFIecc/видео.htmlsi=j1DHADmd2OYcrYTV
@@TakingOff Damn-I think he even admitted that Ridge Wallet knew he was going to crash the plane! Close to the end of the link I sent you in the last comment.
According to the FAA he has a 3rd class medical issued 11/23 but no certificate. But in the video he posted recently he shows paperwork but none of it is readable on the video. He then takes his Girlfriend/wife for a flight.
@@davecheck3214I’m looking into this
Jacob has gotten his pilot's license back. He posted a video just yesterday where he claimed he got it back and there was footage of him flying with his friend.
GOOD!
Glad he's seeing some real consequences to his actions because he was incredibly brazen in planning & covering up his crimes. Wish he had more time behind bars because unfortunately someone with Trevor's lack of foresight & level of risk-blindness doesn't change overnight, and I suspect that the judge went easy on him because of his age rather than factoring in the sheer recklessness of someone old enough to know better.
You can get a FAA certificate if you have a felony conviction, unless the conviction is for a drug or alcohol related offense. In that case, you cannot apply for a certificate for up to one year after your final conviction.
Dan, he claims to have gotten his pilots license back and has videos showing the same. We as an aviation community can’t stand for this!
He’s also admittedly a liar, so just because he says he has his license back, doesn’t make it truth.
In a video he uploaded on his channel he brags about having his license back ( showing his written test, an endorsement from a CFI and a check ride with a DPE ). As far as I know his plea agreement forbids him to get a license. The FAA registry for Airmen shows him with no certificate and color blindness limitation ( search for Jacob D Trevor ). Either the FAA registry is slow or he continues to lie. He doesn’t the deserve the license. It’s a privilege and not a right. Thank you Dan for the updates and happy holidays!
The FAA pilot database takes months for updates. One would hope he's never allowed to fly. But that's not how it is.
@@UncleKennysPlace
One commenter says his ticket was restored in April '23 ... what month is it now (Dec 5th, '23)?
Yes and none of that paperwork is readable.
Doesn't there need to be an underlying crime, in order to obstruct?
He got his pilots license back already.
Merry Christmas to him…
Good!
He should have gotten a lot more than six months with at least 10 years parole, meaning he could not reapply for his certificate until he completed probation and would have to be violation free for 10 years. (Meaning a parole violation restarts the clock to reapply for his flying certificate and he would have to restart as a new pilot.
I'll wait for Bryan Turners report for the real story!
Me too!
Disappointed... wow...
Lock Him Up! Save room for Dan Gryder!
I realize the sky is a big place, but he doesn't deserve to be there.
“The Guide says there is an art to flying", or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.”
― Douglas Adams
Maybe he gets state charges on reckless conduct, I don't think there would have been any federal charges, the FAA has enough on its plate and no budget. Say nothing if you choose, get a new address and phone, lawyer up, instead he does what someone who would crash a plane as a stunt would do, make it worse.
Should have been a lot more than 6 months and accomplices should probably have been charged too
Looking at the airman registry, he already got a new 3rd class medical in November and his student certificate is in process, looks like he'll be back in the air after he gets out in May 2024.
6 months is fair. I mean, he lost his licence, is now a felon, had to foot the bill for removing everything and all the legal fees. What he did was stupid and selfish. Hope he's learned his lesson.
If anybody actually knew what a week or a month in jail felt like, I doubt they would see six months as too short.
I can’t say I’ve had quite that experience. However I’ve been fairly isolated during portions of military training and certainly treated like prisoners as far as labor and strict guidelines with almost no freedom. Living in actual jail for half a year has got to be no joke.
The. He lost his right to vote. He lost his rights to own firearms. I’m sure there’s a lot of other terrible things that happen when you’re a convicted felon. It’s not like the jail time is the only impact.
@@VictoryAviation Lol! I've literally lived through exactly what you described. Working on the Navy on a ship for months on end, 16 hour days with no days off, treated like a literal slave. Absolute hell.
I also don't agree with felons losing their rights, unless the nature of someone's crimes warrant it. Why should someone like Trevor lose his right to defend himself and vote? He didn't commit a violent crime.
It looks like Trevor did get his PPL back on February 10th 2023. Does the sentence mean he's losing it again? Or is it just a matter of it being suspended while he's in the slammer? You should follow up on this.
Yes, I’ve looked into it, and I’ve gotten a lot of documents from the United States attorneys office out of California, I’m working on a script and will do an update hopefully by tomorrow.
6 months. What the heck?? Why not 5 or 10 years??
Good. It will give him time to rethink the errors in his ways. He hasn't learned a thing.
6 months seems a bit light!
Even with his pilot's certificate revoked, don't forget about Part 103!
I still think they were a bit too lenient on him.
6 months? Should have been 6 years. smh
Anyone here who really thinks he should get 20 years prison for this either doesnt have a good sense of time and/or hasnt watched enough "The First 48" on A&E and realize that people who murder/rape/etc people dont even get 20 years
Why so many Christmas trees in the hangar? That's spinny one is giving me spatial disorientation.
instruments only; keep the focus.
How is he ever allowed to pilot an aircraft again.
Hey! What's the big deal? I always take selfies as I parachute from the airplane when the engine fails.
Six months for what Jacob did! What a joke. Another example of how our justice system is broken and criminals have all the "rights".
What took so long, ONLY 6 months 😳 he needs years, i can’t help but laugh 🤣👍🏻👌🏻❤️🇬🇧
Because he can afford a good lawyer.
Why can’t I see any of the comments?
Play stupid games...win stupid prizes!
Dear TJ ... FO&D!
Nice to see ya dan! Thanks for the smile!
Perhaps now he can make a video of himself rebuffing the advances of his cellmate.
Jacobs says he has his license back. wtf?
Seems like he's already flying again. He posted a video saying that he got his license back. In that video, he's flying.
He got off easy, a couple of years would have been appropriate and his ticket should have been permanently revoked.
Yehey!!!!
I think what he did was wrong and he should be punished. However, having tax payers spend tens of thousands of dollars to lock him up is stupid in my opinion. We shouldn't be locking up so many no violent offenders. Many career criminals are being released from prison early due to overcrowding and we're locking up this RUclips guy ? A steep fine and permanent loss of his pilots license would have been a better punishment.
In today’s world 6mo prison sentence is a surprise..surprised he got anything but probation..
Martha (Martha Stewart the cooking diva) got five months for lying to the feds...
Good.
Are you going to do a video on vans Aircraft filing chapter 11 bankruptcy?
Yeah, I didn’t see that until this morning, I am going to look into it, not sure if I’ll do a video.
6 months makes sense to me.
Good unlike most people in aviation I’ve never been a FAA or alj fan the atf taught me how gov organizations work but he definitely deserves this punishment I just hope they did it the right way because if they didn’t he should go free and he definitely doesn’t deserve that after what he did
Good
While the "prison sentence" is pretty minimal, perhaps we can all hope that it will deter anyone else- based on the aviation community's love for safe operations.
Sadly, I feel like he (and others) will use this to post more extreme videos to get likes = money. FAA needs to prosecute to the extent of the law.
Taxpayers were hurt the most,prosecuting this idiot,winners were all the lawyers,our justice system, and government is really a mess.
but also, in addition to the justice system which is only the back end of the whole system, I would argue that a society is paying for the consequences of establishing their education and economic systems that create and incentivize this behavior. And ultimately, it is the voters who install the government that establishes these systems that you in turn label as a mess.
@swiftadventurer not when the voting is filled with fraud supported by a paid off MSM by ONE WORLD ORDER CONTROLLERS that people used to claim was nothing but conspiracy theorists.
6 Months, That's it? what a joke.
Wow, he actually got prison time. I mean, he absolutely should have, but it seems so often these days, people don't get the punishment they deserve. He's lucky he only got 6 months. Let this be a lesson for all of those so desperate for clicks and views that they'd do garbage like this.
The stunt was bad, but the cover-up always is worse …
He should also have all his accounts shut down and be banned from starting new accounts for life. Rarely have I seen such a misuse of the technology with such a wanton disregard for safety. If he was not already an actual psychopath, his LIKE lust surely turned him into one.
He should have filled out his pre fraud checklist it's never the crime it's always the cover-up that brings people like him undone
