there is no such thing as a "14-year-old pilot".

Personally, I'd characterize the lad as possessing superior piloting
skills in light of his young age and absence of any flight training.

I'd be real interested to know how much time he has spent on computer flight
simulators.

T,

ok, so make that airplane pilot or certified pilot.

Larry,

Right. Leaving the keys in an unlocked aircraft creates an attractive
nuisance that invites unauthorized use, and virtually creates criminal
behavior.


That, too. But the real issue is the negative PR it creates.

Peter,

but the issue is not what is reality, but what the public perceives.


You done broke the code, Lt.

Yeah, right. Especially his judgement as a pilot - truly superior. A
hero.

What are you guys thinking????

I'd characterize him as possessing extremely large testicles of the brass
variety. He might want to work on impulse control, though.

Many early computer hackers and virus authors went on to make big careers
as consultants in the computer industry.

Perhaps there is similar hope with this 14 year-old.

I am thinking "where were the parents?" I'm also thinking "who would
leave they keys in an airplane sitting on the ramp?"

Notice that he also stole his mother's van to drive to the airport. His parents
were probably sitting at home saying "I'm a'gonna kill that kid when I catch up
to him."

Why do men's hearts beat faster, knees get weak, throats become dry,
and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing?
Because she smells like a new truck.

I doubt it. The parents obviously weren't paying attention to what he
was up to, and obviously left the keys in a place accessible to him.

This kid obviously didn't have much respect for authority, didn't
demonstrate good judgment, was not very bright, and I certainly wouldn't
characterize him as "well-behaved." If that describes your kid and you
know they're generally an irresponsible terror, being a responsible
parent would including eliminating easy access to things that your kid
could use to get into trouble--like your car.

Of course, in my experience, the kids who are irresponsible terrors
usually don't have responsible parents.
