Pilot Proposes to His Girlfriend Through Flight Path That Took 2 Hours to Complete: 'Worth It'
A pilot recently showed that the sky's the limit when it comes to love. Terry Williamson proposed to his girlfriend of two years, Taylor Burcham, last week in the most unusual yet romantic way — through a special coordinated flight plan. On Wednesday, April 9, Williamson flew his Bonanza P-35 plane over Pratt, Kansas, reported ABC affiliate KAKE. During the course of his flight, he spelled out in cursive "Will you marry me Taylor?"

"After about the middle of the second word, I found out why they only do two words," Williamson told KAKE, who reported that most messages delivered via flight path tend to be brief. "I felt like I was going to get sick. There was a lot of G's, a lot of turns, and it was very strenuous. It was really rough but definitely worth it." Williamson, who has been flying for almost 20 years, told Fox Weather that he was inspired by earlier proposals that others have mapped out in the air. However, he wanted to raise the stakes. "I wanted to do something different, something that nobody else has done," he said. Burcham saw the proposal through flight radar while at her coffee shop job — something that she regularly does when Williamson is in the air to make sure he's okay, according to reporting by KAKE.

Former Tuscaloosa police officer charged with possession of child sexual abuse material
A now former Tuscaloosa police officer was arrested Monday after he was accused of possessing material depicting child sexual abuse. Corey Nicholas Burcham, 35, was charged with 10 counts of possession of child sexual abuse material, said Stephanie Taylor, a spokeswoman with the Tuscaloosa Police Department. The West Alabama Human Trafficking Task Force received information March 12 that led them to confiscate electronic devices that they said belonged to Burcham. Their investigation uncovered multiple child sexual abuse images on his phone, according to Taylor. Warrants were obtained Monday to charge Burcham and he was subsequently arrested just after noon. Chief Brent Blankley of the Tuscaloosa Police Department and several TPD officers took Burcham into custody at his home in Tuscaloosa County. Burcham remained in jail Monday afternoon with bond to be set later by a judge. Blankley said Burcham will no longer serve as an officer with the department. 'When we first learned of these allegations last week, we began the necessary procedures that will ensure he never works as a police officer again,' Blankley said in a news release. 'We have zero tolerance for actions that undermine the public trust and harm children. The individual involved no longer serves in any capacity with the department.' Burcham worked as a patrol officer from January 2019 until March 12.
