Teen Airplane thief strikes again!

This guy is getting quite a following! Fairly amazing considering he steals and flies the airplanes with his only flying training coming from a few flight sim video games.

It would be such a shame if one of his future landings turns out to be a little... hard. Specifically, back breakingly hard.

He poses such a danger to the public he deserves nothing less.

If this little C*** stole my plane and I caught him, I'd break his back, that is for sure.

Some people are such morons, especially all his Facebook fans. I hope he steals one too many planes and picks the wrong one and ends up in a smoking hole.....(and that the owner gets a full insurance payout)....

My guess is that he's not read up on the multitudinous Vancouver Olympic flight restrictions and may find himself being followed by a couple F-16s

Well, the odds are that his "flying training" will show up some serious deficiencies when a situation arises that requires some advanced flying skills and knowledge.
Hopefully he'll only take himself out, and nobody else, when gravity assumes the superior position.
I can recall a few similar instances where people thought their limited knowledge of flying entitled them to "borrow" other peoples planes, and use them without their knowledge. In almost every case, the end result was a wrecked aircraft with fatal results for the smart-ar$e involved.
