- Опубликовано: 18 май 2024
- This foreign pilot lied to the FAA, stole an American's identity, and evaded authorities for years before he was discovered after crashing in cornfield. Unfortunately, this illegal flight would not be his last!

Hey I love your channel but I recently had a NDE and for now I'm extra sensitive to deadly situations. I am so very sorry but I'm going to unsub until my mind is strong enough again. I know 1 sub doesn't mean anything. I feel guilty therefore I'm telling you why. Thank you 4 the past video
I know -1 sub doesn't mean much. I recently had a NDE and am very sensitive to deadly situations therefore at this time I have to unsub until my mind is right again. I feel guilty but I do thank you for your past videos.
We had a Fatal Plane crash in Franklin Tennessee over the Weekend Friday I believe, 3 Fatalities on their way to Kentucky. How bout some info on what happened? 🇺🇲👍
I clicked "Don't recommend channel" because of the annoying red arrows in your thumbnails.
Hey Hoover, if you can talk about it, could you give us a Pilot Debrief about the door that recently flew off the airplane? Thanks for your content.
I feel much safer as an airline passenger knowing that the FAA runs such a tight ship. 🙄
Never get on an airplane flown by Wee Tu Lo and Sum Ting Wong
Exactly! It is comforting knowing their watchful eyes are always open! 😂
The irony right?! Smh
@@billwendell6886 Watch out for nicknames too. Imagine you're boarding the plane and you hear the flight attendants complaining about how "Nose Dive" Samson is the pilot today.
this started in Aug 2001, a few weeks before "The Wake Up Call".
I'm much less angry at this guy than the fools who let him get away with it.
I don't need to know how to land.
@@larrybethune3909 The plane will land for you if you don't know how. It won't be pretty, though.
why?
Your the fool. They want a one world government, not borders
@@robertd7073 "You're" not "Your". "You're" is a contraction of "you" and "are"="You're".
They put us through body scanners and pat downs to be a passenger on a commercial flight and this guy is flying around with a fake license on an unregistered plane, smh.
That's because the government doesn't actually care about criminal activity. Their (the US government) only concern is making sure the general public is cowed and controlled enough to be kept in line.
There isn’t any taxpayer money in policing guys like him, but for policing the public? Billions.
in other countries flying as a passenger is enjoyable America just blows
That because there are far more high jackings that involved passengers not the pilots themselves. 911 for example they learned how to fly and stole multiple planes using nothing more than box cutters and used them to fly into buildings. Almost no pilot has ever done that. Most just crash it into the ground or mountain as a suicide. That's why.
Yep. But the difference is: he's an illegal alien. They can do anything.
A modern day " Catch me if you can" pilot. Love your videos, great work at piecing this all together!
...and it turns out that "catch me if you can" guy faked that too. These are all just pathological liars.
@@steveburke7675 wow I just looked this up. Im not surprised just kind of disappointed.
@@brisbaneinsider7139 There's an hour longish vid on him here on YT. Yeh for whatever reason a disappointment. Lying sob.
You stole the words right out of my fingers.
Well well, On one side TSA is grilling passengers post 911, here's a guy flying aircrafts illegally all over the world under the nose of FAA!!! Genius
THANK YOU!!!
Hey, at least he didn't own and run a flight school in the US, like the guy local LEOs encountered in 2010. (GAO report 12-875, page 29)
he took off his belt and shoes though.
@@janemf and changed a letter AND the year of birth. Only god would see behind that
@@ringrun9872indeed. Truly a world class criminal mastermind 😂
I will never understand how someone can live a life like this, and that he is able to keep doing it. Insane.
Gotta say, he is consistent.
US and German legal systems are a big part of this, it's easier to hand out parking tickets to citizens who just pay them instead of going after real criminals.
Incredibly devious
Can one guy be soooo lucky?! Smh.
Thanks to Biden, everything is coming in, it's just not Latino, it's everyone who means to do this country harm.
He obviously watched Catch Me if You Can.
Was just thinking the same thing. And apparently, they can't.
Lol....he's worthy to be a decaprio
I was thinking this too, he’s pulling it off!
@@larrybethune3909 🤣🤣
@@mistermystery1999 haha I had the same thought
Sounds like ALOT of agencies dropped the ball on this one. This guy is as slick as butter. Lucky beyond belief. Probably will be stopped when he spins it in.
Maybe he flew some mail for the post office.
It's easy to get people to believe a Big Lie, as the Fuhrer pointed out. Most people (incl. government slugs) can't imagine anyone being so audacious.
This scares the crap out of me. As a commercial drivers license holder I literally have to jump through hoops. Commercial pilot licenses seriously don't have pictures!! My god hoover.😊
I wonder what the AOPA's position on pictures on licenses is? Would they oppose it?
When I drove trucks in the UK we were flooded with eastern europeans with HGV and hazardous goods licenses which were fraudulent; could sometimes spot them because passes were upper case instead of script, we were told that, even where the license wasn't fake, the only requirement in their home country was to be able to drive a farm tractor/ trailer and then they could drive a 45 tonne combination.
@@kevinmoffattdepends from which country, but sounds suspicious to me. Even 33years ago, when I was working to my motorcycle licence there was C and E in my country and 19year old minima for E.
You "literally" have to jump through hoops? No you don't. You don't know what literal means.
I'm sure there are more hoops because of this guy
Well, he certainly brings "fake it til you make it" to the next level!
Dude just really likes flying and no country seems to want to deal with him.
makes me wonder just what OTHER ''companies'' he flew for?? ummm eh yea
It’s wild to me that he’s taken this approach.
He clearly enjoys flying but to pursue your passion so fraudulently and deceptively is extremely strange not to mention dangerous.
It’s bc he wants the notoriety of being a pilot also he’s a scam artist. I bet money he’s also doing illegal flights transporting ppl and drugs all over.
His passenger didn’t want to talk about the incident? Why not? If i was on a plane and it crashed bc the pilot wasn’t actually a pilot I’m telling EVERYONE!
Every time he gets arrested, he just buys another private jet and flies back
Because he's iranian.
Some people are just born like this for whatever reason.
There was one guy who stole the identity of a surgeon, joined the Canadian Navy during the Korean War, and actually ended up saving multiple sailors lives just using the information he picked up along the way. However, saving their lives got him attention, which got his real identity exposed.
@@BetterOnichThanSorry Ferdinand Demara, aka The Great Imposter. There was a 1960 movie made about him with Tony Curtis. We have his service cap in the archives of the Maritime Museum of BC. I showed it to Princess Anne and told her the tale in her recent visit to Victoria.
Wow, how crazy is it that this guy fooled so many and still is, thanks Hoover for the insight into this debrief.
I just can't believe how he was able to get back into the US and get a pilot license after getting deported!
@@pilot-debrief Same here, I feel for those he keeps fooling until something really bad happens right?!
@@pilot-debriefThe 'system' has a lot to do with it ... and it is getting worse.
@@mzoonguindeed, just wait until all FAA employees are DEI hires!
the agencies just want our taxes and fees
Unbelievable! You would think that he would be locked up for many years.
I’m surprised he didn’t get elected to Congress.
I can't believe how lenient the various authorities have been toward this felon.
they just care about our taxes and fees
The laws are just there to control the law abiding and to use against their enemies. Nobody cares about stopping the real criminals.
Why? He's not white.
He buys a jet and wants an A320? Where is the IRS?
Overstayed a student visa and became a pilot, where did we hear this one before?
exactly! just what I was thinking.
And with our history, tge FAA is incredibly easily fooled by simple tricks. I hate to say it, but if vehicle licenses have photos, it appears it's time for Pilot Certificates to do the same.
Oh stop overdramatizing everything.
@BlairAir u read my mind bro.I mean I get why they may not do it,but if they did they would've caught this guy sooner.
The FAA gave a deported known criminal a private pilot's license 2 WEEKS before 9/11...
This is crazy. I can't believe that American pilots licenses don't include a photo.
Totally!! I mean, they need a photo for a Driver's License...but not to fly a plane 🙈🙈🙈
The license is no good without the matching ID so why would it need one? The point of the license is not to prove who you are. And the guy had fake passports so not like it would have stopped him. The deed to your house doesn't have your photo on it either. You have to show a passport or some other form of ID to prove you own it.
@@bubba99009 your name suits you perfectly
Oh come on Tom! You don't think Nader could get around that?
it should you are right
Unfortunately the holes in the Swiss cheese lined up perfectly
The Swiss cheese model is about safety, not security. a malicious actor, whether a terrorist or just some guy who wants to fly without a license, will seek out the holes at every layer.
But I am surprised that security at that end of it is so lax, compared with the security theater we're subjected to at every airport.
There was no swiss cheese or holes
Just an empty plate
This is the making of a movie.
Called The Current Administration
How?! How?! How is this possible? This was so upsetting to watch. Multiple system failures over and over for years allowed this dude to endanger lives.
If he had any sense, he'd have taken lessons in his spare time to finally get a legal licence in his own name.
@@KenFullman Not as daring, exciting, fun?
It started with a violated students visa.
I almost stopped watching at "human trafficking". Vegas hotels & casinos use 'connect the dots' software that would have stopped two of the planes in 911. This is so wrong.
Most of Aviation is based on the honor system.
Man really loves flying
Man, this cat is slippery! Is he on the CIA's payroll?😂
Has the same m.o. As if the spooks don't have a bad enough reputation already.
11:00 Handed over to dea agents that took the pilot and plane back to the US 🤔
The only explanation is that he's a spook/asset.
The alphabet agencies have their own factions. Only reason why he got in was because he was let in.
What’s crazy is this guy actually had somewhat of the skills to fly these airplanes without any formal training. Imagine if he had just went to flight school and became a real certified pilot?
I thought that. Surely the drug kings would sponsor him…..
😂he can't follow rules😅😅😅
Flying is easy😅😅😅
@@yannickille4049Landing is hard.....😂😂.
that wouldn't be any fun
no you don't get to fly a plane without getting your certs. These monsters have no regard for law and order. 7/10 told us all this and more
What a crazy story. Good job tracking down so many details.
Great report Hoover! This story is an indictment of the FAA as much as it is the story of an aviation criminal.
Anyone that would lie about having valid pilot's credentials certainly will lie about where he attended university.
The sad part is there looks like there was a clear path for him to be a successful pilot, and it's clearly something he really wants to do, but he just ruined it for himself.
He didn't ruined, he is still flying 😂😂😂
Thanks, you are so sweet and sympathic. There's good in everyone right Pollyanna?
@@fgb3126 no its an idiot talking
they don't being told what to do.
I find it disturbing that the background checks for getting and renewing a Hazmat endorsement on a commercial driver's license is much more intense than getting a ATPL from the FAA.
The background checks are the same for both. Getting your ATPL is much more difficult than getting a HAZMAT endorsement on your CDL.
Nader only got a medical certificate from the FAA which is almost an identical process to the one for the DOT medical.
This guy is a true menace.
No shortage of rubbish in his part of the world.
@@gladiammgtow4092 "Fooling the system" is a culturally accepted thing to do in most parts of the world. It's also applauded. Same reason corruption is so prevalent.
What always upsets and confuses me about these types of stories is how long these people are able to get away with things and how successful they are. Yes, sometimes, justice and karma catches up with them. But here we are following all the rules, and if we step even slightly out of line they drop the hammer on us. But the liars, cheaters, and con artists 'appear' to have a much easier time of things. I have been trying to get my aircraft registration from the FAA for over a year?!?
That aside, thanks for the debrief and sharing this insane story...
Poor little law-abiding you.
@653j521 what a lame comment
Did you try just calling them up? But yeah, now that you mention it, " liars, cheaters, and con artists 'appear' to have a much easier time of things" - I wonder: is that because our government is run by "liars, cheaters, and con artists"? They naturally will take care of their own kind?
@@adriaba790 a lame comment about lame comments. Perfect Adria
I remember that case from 2012 at Bornholm, Denmark.
It was a really strange story and it was like the media only got a few details from it.
Now Hoover has revealed much more (probably not all) thanks for that.
Greetings from Denmark.
This is not your average border crosser that is such a hot political football in the US, but you're right. This guy thinks he's a bird, and a bird must fly. It does seem as if his end goal of all his shady moves is to pilot aircraft. What's DISTURBING AS HELL is that with 9/11 in our history the FAA is SO EASILY defrauded.
You gotta wonder how many terrorists have crossed the border so far. Now consider how many children they will have that far outnumber our birth rates. Headlines a couple hundred years from now will show how America was conquered by attrition without a shot fired.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION HIRES RUINED THIS COUNTRY
Poor guy has been slapped in the wrists so many times he's probably currently forced to use both hands on the yoke to fly whatever plane he's currently operating.
I get nervous when my cars fuel gauge hits half, constantly looking with a weird anxiety. How on earth do people do things like this and live with any sort of focus or happiness?
I think it has to do with how and where you were born and raised (mostly how). Some people's brains are just wired differently. "nothing to lose" mindset.
This video is a good one! We were kind of shocked when this dude fell out off the sky on Bornholm those few years ago. When it turned out he was American, questions about FAA standards arose.
Good that you make people alerted to his shenanigans and please everyone, check your records to protect you from theft!
He was t American, he is Iranian.
You must have forgotten the word "not." He is NOT American.
A very bold and devious person is bound to be able to beat the system occasionally. The fact that he did it on two continents and in several countries shows that he was very devious and bold indeed. This guy was a dedicated and exceptional conman.

It's all very simple once you grasp the concept of permeability.
Legal and social borders are all constructs, it's abeyance that provides "legitimacy."
@@JD-tn5lz Very true. If everyone decides to violate the law, there are not enough enforcers to stop them. We typically don't violate the law because we know it's wrong and it hurts society. Our entire existence depends on good people adhering to our social constructs, including following both written laws, and our ethics.
Exceptional, maybe not. Look at all the conmen and women of an advanced age involved in trials lately, and then think of all the ones who are still at it.
Not "was" unfortunately.
when us contractor corporate pilots say there are a lot of cowboy pilots out there this is what we mean lol
It’s almost impressive how much he can get away with!
Pretty impressive he managed to fly a Learjet and others without any proper training!
The Aug 28, 2001 pilot's certificate to an Iranian national should have been worrisome enough after 9-11-2001, but the long caravan of violations for decades is insane.
Interesting timing. Almost like he knew something was going to happen a few days later
I must have missed the part where any of the 9-11 pricks were Iranian ?!
Are you both missing the fact that none of the 9/11 hijackers were from Iran?
Since I live abroad, I shared this video with the Brazilian embassy. Hopefully they will find and place this lunatic behind bars.
That is absolutely terrifying.
Incredible research, Hoover. Thanks for the great channel and insight.
Wow. Wonder if he's on the NO FLY list (lol). That might explain his desparation to fly (in part). This is a serial conman whose arrests around the globe that you have been ABLE to find out about become more sinister if you think about what he is more likely up to (human trafficking, drug, gun smuggling; agent for IRG, etc) that being arrested and jailed so many times is so not a deterrent.
Excellent little mystery, Hoover. Thx.
We have enough of our own serial conmen being arrested and charged with hundreds of felonies all over the country. And he’ll likely be our next president. What kind of standards can we honestly pretend we have, or care about?
The name Nader Haghighi is basically the Iranian equivalent of "Jim Williams" or "Matt Russell". I’d be surprised if there was only one on the list.
I think this is just another example of the incompetence of our federal agencies.
To be fair, it's more because they are hugely underfunded. Security is amoung the most expensive IT investments. Try explaining that to the children we have in Washington.
Willful incompetence
I don’t know what you mean by “our”. He has fooled every agency he has been in contact with. He even fools himself by lying on the amount of fuel available on the aircraft. He is a crafty scumbag….not too hard to do if you can lie with a straight face.
@@BlairAir Could not agree more. Not sure we do need to spend additional billions on FAA security theater. We just have to accept that from time to time people like this will slip through.
@@BlairAir Or to most of the people posting here?
So the other day I opened a newly purchased package of pre sliced Swiss Cheese and reading through all the layers of holes I could clearly see the letters faa.....
The video started out pretty bad but it's just keep getting worse. It's terrifying to think this individual is still lurking out there ready to con again
Oh. no, he is waiting to CON AGAIN! Terrifying? Not so much.
Just the kind of person you'd want up there in the air with you. 😵💫
The FAA is a wildly inept arm of the DOT .
Three letters: *DEI*

And DOT is now run by who?
This is just a crazy scary story! Thanks for the heads up, Hoover.
Wow ! Crazy Cowboy that exposed all of the holes in the FAA
Crazy this guy got away with so much. Thanks for the great video.
I just saw him fly by a couple minutes ago!
Hoover, I love your debriefs. Keep em coming🌸
Your story telling ability is amazing. Love all these debriefs! Crazy he got away with so many things for so long
“He somehow made it back into the United States. “
It is tricky nowadays.
lol.
We’re worried about the wrong people.
A miracle indeed.
"Tricky?", surely you jest. Just go down to Ol' Mexico, find the Rio Grande, and walk across. Claim sanctuary. You're good to go. Want a $1000/month debit card and a free flight to wherever you want to go? No es problema senor.
Watching your videos just makes my decision to never fly again seem .more and more logical every day. These agencies have no clue and are just there to place and deflect blame after the fact.
Me too. Ever since the TSA I've not flown.
Very persistent and resourceful. Genius.
Thank you, Hoover for another great and informative video. In this age of electronics, people like this "man", still get what they need so deviously ! Take care. I am looking forward to your next video ! !
Wow, this is totally crazy. And it shows again that the state rather hands out parking and speeding tickets to citizens who pay and make no trouble instead of going after real repeat criminals.
Hi Hover! I'm fairly new to your channel, and just an RC Pilot, but love aviation. Thank you for your service in the AF, and what you do on here. I really enjoy watching your videos, and very impressed with your flying career. Thanks buddy! Rick
Really good video Hoover - thank you for your efforts on this , well done sir ! I appreciate it . 😮. Wow !
As bad as this story is, it's nothing compared to what I learned while in Nigeria and having to reply on air transportation. Scariest times of my life. SMH
Enjoyed the debrief, Hoover. 👍🏻
Hoover, would you please consider covering the Vultee crash a few years back at 1W1 in Camas, Washington? I’ve looked into that one, and there are some concerning things about it, such as how relatively few hours the now-dead pilot had spread out over decades, and it wasn’t his first time running off the runway, to the left specifically. He nearly killed another person. I haven’t been able to find info on if he had a high power endorsement for an obviously high-powered plane, and though he had an instructor with him the last flight, it doesn’t sound like he always did.
Lover your channel, thanks for the hard work!
This is the most amazing channel on RUclips! Some of the stories you come up with just blow my mind. How lax the US authorities are for a start. Keep up the good work Hoover. 😊
It looks like the FAA are too busy making sure the people who fly RC toy planes have their licenses and their remote id unit installed, that they didn't have the time for unimportant things like, making sure that airline pilots are who they say they are.
I can’t help but admire the tenacity,
chase your dream Nadir, don’t let bureaucracy get in your way! 😁
wow, you just never know who is lying and who tells the truth about anything now days. Thanks for what you report on.
hahaha Paraguay linked again to sketchy subjects, greetings from the ZP land, great content as always Hoover!
Wow !!! well this one is certainly different.. How did he get away with it for so long..
Some guy's are just born to fly. I guess this guy's one of them! 😂
Unbelievable that this happend & is still happening. I cringe at the thought.
Great Story and very well researched!
It's pretty sorry that the FAA is this loose with issuing licenses and verifying who people are.
it'll be interesting to see how he gets into the US next time. he'll probably just walk in. and we'll be like "oh you lost your phone AND your pilot's license? well lucky for you sir, we have fresh phones and pilot's licenses for all illegal immigrants today."
Yeah. Right. And, there's a bonus. Claim Sanctuary Status and get a free debit card! Yes it's true sir.
biden will welcome him and give him a license
Well that's just insane. He must have the hide of a rhinoceros.
*Meanwhile, every time I take a flight, 'homeland security' finds a reason to check the state of my colon.*
"Catch Me If You Can" comes to life.
This guy can fool thr FAA multiple times while they would probably deny me for having taken adhd meds to get through a rough patch of a boring office job during the pandemic lol
Governments eh
wow, what a story. Amazing that someone can fool the authorities over and over for decades!
Crazy stuff !!!!! Great videos !!!!!
It's that time, let's check it out.
Looks like the FAA don’t know it’s Bussiness.
Unfortunately the holes in the Swiss cheese lined up perfectly.
I am Cape Verdean! ..... Thanks for the shout out.
I blame the FAA and law enforcement (personally) for not taking the appropriate action to prevent this Nut-Bar from ever flying again. Unbelievable.
what a resourceful con man, there will be a movie on him one day
I like the fellow’s spirit😊. The FAA will do much better by getting him a citizenship and a pilot’s license.
Hi, Nader!
What an awesome story. Thank you
That is insane!!!! This makes me nervous!!! How does this dude keep getting away this crap!!! So disturbing!!!
This many aliases and fake Stanford, MIT degrees? You sure the pilot wasn’t George Santos?
He should just buy them, like Trump did.
Airports of any size should have actual restrictions, security guards and agents who check everything! You don’t even need a license or ID to fly, you just walk up to an airport and can fly away, no checks
This is abdolutely madness. this pisses me off so many ways. hope they stop this guy from pretending to be a pilot.
"they"? they??
It's interesting that he is mostly enabled by the FAA but caught abroad.
So…among other things, we have a really crummy border situation.
Yeah, if you didn't notice. He has been doing this for years under multiple presidents, but you can pick and choose for your narrative.
Yeh, they let in Fred Trump, for one. Look where that got us.
@@RetreadPhoto 💯 percent correct. I wish they never let that family in.
I’m surprised the US government hasn’t given him millions and apologized for being mean to him.
Just makes you scratch your head! Thank God I don't fly anymore! Thanks for another thriller Hoover!
This sounds a bit like the "Catch Me If You Can" character from that movie based of a true story! Thanks for this video. I really enjoy the way you present each case.
