While Tiger Woods was playing in the Masters yesterday, an airplane pulling a taunting banner flew over head in Augusta.
Sounds like a country song.
Reportedly, the FAA performed a “ramp check” on the plane last night in response to a request from an FAA air traffic controller. An FAA spokesperson tells us the investigator found “a number of mechanical issues” and sent the plane back to the airport where it is based.
The owner of the plane told TMZ, the mechanical issue was over a worn-out tag on the seat belts and he’s currently searching for another plane so he can carry out his assignment.
I wonder if that’s why Tiger threw the tantrum? He had to know this wouldn’t be easy.

What do you get when you mix two celebrities, who both love to have a lot of alcohol drinks, on a plane? The answer is a pain in the ass.
Lily Allen and Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher were both in Upper Class on the Virgin Atlantic 11-hour flight to Japan recently as they made their way to the Fuji Rocks festival.
But instead of doing word puzzles or watching movies on the flight, they both got wasted. Well they had already started drinking champagne in the Upper Class lounge in Heathrow Airport.
Another passenger who was on the plane said “they did not care about the other passengers. They were in a world of their own. They were already well-oiled by the time they came on board. There is obviously a different set of rules for celebrities.”
The two drunken singers were both accompanied by their entourage, who in total made up half the 30 passengers in the Upper Class area, members from their entourage told the cabin crew to “keep those two apart.”
Being on a flight with a drunk Lily Allen and Liam Gallagher would be my worst nightmare on a plane.

Travis Barker is looking for justice.
In his first postcrash TV news interview, the musician tells E! News exclusively why he decided to file a lawsuit over the plane crash that killed four people and left Barker and DJ AM badly burned.

“I wouldn’t have been in the state I was in if I wasn’t in the crash. I wouldn’t have third-degree burns all over my body or be prohibited to do certain things. I can’t go swimming. I can’t do some of the things that normal people can do. I didn’t ask for that to happen.”
DJ AM, who is also continuing his recovery from the Sept. 19 incident, is not part of the lawsuit. Said Barker:
“I can’t speak for him—I think everyone just has different attorneys.”
The drummer says he doesn’t know if he’ll win his lawsuit.
“I don’t know. I just think positive. I mean, I think so—if something goes wrong that’s not supposed to go wrong or you fall victim of it, I think you should be compensated.”
He says he’s not just speaking for himself, either. “I lost two friends in the accident. Nothing can bring them back or what I lost in the accident.”
