The S.A.C. was a fairly reasonable glider pilot, I don't know if he had any power experience. As I think he worked on the Prentices he would have known the start up procedures. He borrowed it about 3.0 a.m. from inside a hangar. He appears to have landed it on a narrowish concrete farm? road undamaged. The next day there were pictures in the Eastern Daily Press. It was summer time so landing was after dawn.
