aw, come on. How does a 14 year old without any flying experience manage
to start an airplane, much less know how to control the throttle?

The ignition switch works just like a car, which he's seen used thousands
of
times. The throttle on a 152 is exactly like that on a farm tractor and is
clearly labeled. I'd bet he's either been given rides in aircraft or
driven a
tractor.

Throttle, hell...how'd he learn to work the rudders with this feet to taxi
to the runway?
