Peter Akemann has agreed to cover an estimated $65,169 in plane repairs and to complete 150 hours of community service to help aid Southern California wildfire relief.

Peter Akemann, a former UC Berkeley Ph.D. student and once-prominent video games executive, flew a drone that hit a Super Scooper plane by the Palisades Fire.

The drone, which authorities say was flying in restricted airspace on Jan. 9, put a fist-sized hole in the wing of a Super Scooper — a massive fixed-wing plane that can drop large amounts of water onto a fast-moving fire.

Peter Akemann, the former president of Skydance Interactive, has pleaded guilty of recklessly flying a drone that collided with a firefighting plane that was combatting the Pacific Palisades wildfire on Jan.
