I thought the same when a teenager tried to steal a King Air a couple of years ago (

Today's teenagers consult YouTube when they want to find out how to do something and if you look there, you'll find plenty of advice... I suppose most of it is intended for FlightSimmers but given the realism of some Sims it will enable you to fire up the real thing, too. Usually starting a PT-6 is easier than starting a hot fuel-injected piston engine anyway.
