YouTuber pilot regrets intentionally crashing plane, gets 6 months in prison

I think his only regret is that he got caught.

The issue for him was less that he intentionally crashed the plane for views and more that he lied to investigators about knowing where the crash was, then went out and retrieved the crashed plane, chopped it, and stashed different bits of it in different dumpsters. Surprised he only got 6 months to be honest.

That seems really light to me, especially with the lengths he also went to to cover this up. But I don't really know the ins and outs of the system, just an onlooker scratching his head as to why only 6 months.
