Ugh. I cringed when I read about this, not just because I couldn't
believe anyone would be stupid enough to try something like that, but I
knew the knee-jerk anti-GA types (Skylune) would jump all over this...
and I was right.
I read on AvFlash the crew left the plane unlocked on the ramp (major
violation of ramp security and common sense) which was tempting enough
to lure some dumbass kid into an even dumber stunt. Unbelievable. A 22
year old kid that probably wanted to fly for a living now with a
useless type rating and a felony charge w/five misdemeanor counts to
boot. The pax apparently didn't know the plane was stolen. (haven't
figured that part out yet)
