Hit in the head by a shot fired from the ground, pilot Mike Spicer managed, with the help of his passenger, to get his plane safely back to the Clay Center airport.
Spicer, a Clay County commissioner who manages the municipal airport, was pressed into service Friday by authorities looking for a man who sped off when a deputy tried to stop him for illegal registration of his pickup truck....
Dude. A moratorium on people I know getting into the news, I plead. (And my nephew mentioned this to me at the wedding -- he said there'd been some shootings, but he failed to mention that it was a surface-to-air shooting, for crying out loud.)
Only met Mike a few times. Knew one of his kids, though....
