While doing wheelies on a motorcycle at up to 120 mph on an Oakland freeway, Corey McDonah, 23, probably had no idea that a California Highway Patrol airplane was tracking him on video, authorities say.

It started about 3:40 p.m. when the CHP plane, Air 37, spotted a man on an orange Kawasaki motorcycle traveling 100 and 120 mph on eastbound Interstate 580 near the MacArthur Maze in Oakland, the CHP said.

The pilot saw the rider doing wheelies and other stunts — including standing on the bike — and relayed the information to patrol cruisers.

The man got off the freeway at 35th Avenue and, with the plane still overhead, ended up in front of a home on El Carmello Circle off Monterey Boulevard in Oakland’s Redwood Heights neighborhood. The ground units took him into custody after the pilot confirmed from above that they had their man, authorities said.

The pilot also told his counterparts on the ground that the entire episode was caught on video.

McDonah was booked at an Oakland jail on suspicion of reckless driving.
