A former FedEx pilot who attacked one of the carrier's crews in a McDonnell Douglas DC-10 in the cruise has been found guilty of air piracy and faces a 20-year gaol term. A jury rejected the insanity defence of Auburn Calloway who used hammers, a knife and a spear gun in the assault when travelling off-duty. The prosecutor told the jury that Calloway, may have wanted to crash the aircraft, to collect insurance money. A suicide note was found aboard the aircraft. The crew was seriously wounded by Calloway in the incident, but survived to land the aircraft at Memphis.
