Reread this story last night and it's pretty much the way I remember it. Richard Dees a sleezy tabloid reporter for The Inside View chases a serial killer who's been draining the blood of small airport personnel. Dees having a Cessna himself pursues the maniac pilot getting closer and closer to a confrontation. Miguel Ferrer plays Dees in the 1997 movie of the same name and does a 1st rate job but when I was reading this story I couldn't help but picture Darren McGavin as Carl Kolchak "The Night Stalker in this role.
Is there a moral to this story? Maybe just this:

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy -- Billy Shakespeare
