About 40 years ago I took a biker type up in a cessna 150 for a scenic flight over the mountains and he went nuts grabbing the controls and screaming in a rage. He was too big to overpower so had to calm him down so he would let me land the airplane. I was looking for a crash axe that day but had nothing to fight him with.

My only chance was a slim one of rolling inverted, undoing his seat belt and try to kick him out of the plane. Thank God I finally calmed him down so he didn't grab the controls again as he did on my first attempt to land.
