i l l m a t i c Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 A 14-year-old boy stole a Cessna and went on a late-night joy ride, taking off and landing twice before being arrested. The teen allegedly took his mother’s van from their home Wednesday night and drove to the airport in Fort Payne about five miles away. He said he then found the key in the unlocked plane, removed the Cessna’s tie-downs, started the engine, and began driving around. He suffered minor cuts and bruises on the second landing because the plane came down hard, causing the landing gear to collapse and the propeller to dig into a road beside the airport. The teen, who had never before flown a plane, was in the air for nearly 30 minutes. Police charged him with theft and took him to a juvenile lockup. The teen was not identified because of his age. Authorities said the theft raised questions about security. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8249917/ He had never flown one b4 and he still decides to fly a plane?? lol im suprised he survived...

Robert Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I've heard it's pretty normal for small planes to be left unlocked with the keys in the ignition. They obviously never had their cars stolen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-Neo Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 kids will try anything these days. I'd don't think I'd be foolish enough to leave my keys in a freaking plane though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucandrake Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Thats how you ask yourself suvo, what really did happen? Maybe the government was hiding the fact that he rode a magic ship that flys when your brain tells it to but requires so much energey and goess so slow that when it lands it crashes and it can only stay in the air for 30 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
