A Girl pilot's Final Flight

Last Thursday in Cheyenne, Wyoming, a young pilot's dream ended in disaster. Jessica Dubroff, 7, of Pescadero, California, started the second leg of a journey that would have made her the youngest person ever to fly a plane cross-country. The four-seater plane took off in a rainstorm and crashed minutes later. Jessica, her father and her flight instructor, Joe Reid, died instantly.

Under current rules, a child of any age can fly as long as an instructor is onboard. After the crash, the Federal Aviation Administration said it would review rules allowing children to fly airplanes.
