No, it wasn't Woz. At the time I read about it, I subscribed to an
aviation information service for pilots that listed all FAA accident
reports with the probable causes, for the education of pilots. This
service was prohibited from listing the pilots' names, but it referred
to this pilot as the "founder of Apple." That would be Jobs, would it
not? It was not an ultralight; it was a full size twin-engine aircraft
that he loaded up with his friends and then, if I remember right,
crashed through a fence at the airport on either landing or takeoff.
Everybody was shaken up but not seriously hurt, or he would have been
in even more trouble.

It is a shame what happened to Apple after they fired Steve Jobs.
Jobs has this self defensive motive that makes him get better when
others tell him he is not good. Wow.
And he also thinks he's better than he is at some things. If I
remember right, reading an FAA accident report several years ago,
Jobs was the guy with a private pilot license for single engine
aircraft who bought a big twin and decided he should be able to fly
it just fine without any extra instruction. He loaded some friends in
it and nearly killed them all when he wrecked the plane. He was cited
by the FAA for trying to fly something he wasn't qualified for. This
kind of an ego is not always harmless.
No. That's probably a conflation of some other event and Steve
Wozniak's plane crash (which was an single seater ultralight, iirc).
If you can provide proof, please do; a google search of "Steve Jobs"
and "plane crash" only brings up references to Woz's accident.
