The Santa Barbara cops held two pilots at gunpoint because a DEA contractor told them that the airplane they were flying (on an IFR flight plan, no less) was stolen.
Turns out it wasn't. Turns out that since there are only a finite number of combinations of numbers and letters for aircraft registrations, that the FAA reuses them. Turns out the DEA is too ill-informed to know that.
And it turns out that the two pilots are among the best-known pilots in the country.
Bravo for the brain-dead boys in blue!
