Status Coup’s @BlueLanesMedia speaks with Navy veteran and homesteader Derek L. King following his apprehension by the FBI in August 2026. The full story began in 2023 when a flight school miles away from his farm decided to use his property as a designated mark for flight practices, leading to years of turbulent and threats to King’s family and neighbors.

***Status Coup has reached out to the United Aviate Academy’s FLY Goodyear Flight Training for comments on Mr. King’s claims.
