A private pilot who was killed in a crash in 2013 reportedly listed pop star Taylor Swift as his emergency contact. The pilot had reportedly penned letters to Taylor Swift after an intense infatuation with the singer.
Canadian aviator Michael Callon had unsuccessfully attempted to land his small aircraft in thick fog at Nashville Airport before the fatal accident occurred in October 2013.
The 45-year-old was over the legal alcohol limit and the sole passenger in the Cessna 172R plane, records from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reveal.
The report detailed a mental health evaluation Michael underwent in 2012, where it was revealed that he sent a number of fan letters to Swift.
Michael had rented a plane from Windsor Flying Club and reported his destination as Ontario, Canada. He instead flew to Nashville, Taylor’s hometown. Then the fateful crash occurred.
Reports reveal before the crash Michael had circled the airport for two hours, and the airplane to burst into flames upon impact.
