Just when I thought we were safe from drunk idiots stealing
airplanes... How does someone like that (drunk idiot non-pilot) figger
out how to start the engines? A non-pilot probably wouldn't know about

The real shame of it is that the twin now has damage history (assuming
it didn't before, of course) affecting its value just because Darwin
hadn't yet caught up to that fuggin moron..
