Bait and Switch.
The headline claims a plane was stolen but the idiot couldn’t even figure out to start it.
He’s missing a chromosome.
I've been playing shooters since the original Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (1999).
Too bad you didn’t tag along!
He would have made it to the concert!!!
;-)
Well Hello! Why do you think they call it civil aviation? D'uh!
LOL, you haven’t committed any axe murders, have you???
I am not worried about adults. They get it. Their brains are formed.
But I think about what it would be like to be a 13 year old boy playing video games for 12 hours at a stretch on a Saturday and Sunday...
I was 13 years old once. I don’t think it would have been good for me...
Who or what is that supposed to be???
Even if the member of the race of victims found a way to get airborne, a safe landing requires some real skill that has to be developed. Of course he could have augured into the ground near the concert. I wonder if he could even read a compass?
Janey, you missed one of the best comedy series EVAH, 'Seinfeld'
BTW, how hard can it be to fly a 737 or similar jetliner, you just enter your destination data, push autopilot and hit enter, right?
You pilots are so overpaid. 😁😁😁
He should have had the Ted Danson plane!
I ate the garage door. LOL!
No,No, No. Reach under the dash and pull out some wires. Hot wire the thing like you know what your doin.
This is what you do...make a ramp that will never hold even the weight of a ten year old kid, and go full tilt into it, pedaling like mad because you are sure you are going to sail through the air.
And you do.
But unfortunately, the bike itself makes a hard stop as soon as the tire hits the ramp and puts pressure on it, causing the whole thing to collapse.
Or worse, you actually get the bike into the air.
But instead of a graceful Evel Knieval arc with you standing on the pedals, front tire raised far above the rear, you find yourself plummeting face first towards the ground with the front tire far below you and the rear tire far above your head!
And that doesn’t even take into account the concept of descending slope to land on, all you got is that flat driveway!
I was always amazed I made it into adulthood.

Just remember you have to think in Russian to fire the missiles.
I was always an aviation nut, became a jet mechanic in the USN, and when personal computers became a thing, I purchased every flight simulator I could find that would run on my computer.
I got involved in an online combat flight simulator “Warbirds” back in the mid-nineties, and built a whole setup with a chair that had stick, rudder, and throttle attached permanently to it...I loved it. Did it for about five years...she would come in while I was in the middle of a pitched dogfight and with a big grin, put her arms around my neck, which resulted in the virtual shudder of having my plane hit by cannon shells or such...
I would rather have got a pilot’s license, but...my wife would never be able to go up in a small plane like that with me flying. She would be a nervous wreck, so...I never spent the money and went that route.
But I did have a guy take me up in his plane once (a Beechcraft Bonanza...the infamous V-Tailed Doctor Killer) and as we flew, he said “Would you like to fly?”
Boy...would I! So...there I went. It was great, I felt as if I could fly it anywhere. I felt completely at home, doing coordinated turns, in control. He said “Come on...fly it!”
So I gave it a steep bank...it was perfect! Man, I sure would like to be able to fly.
But I won’t, ever, unless my wife and I part ways, which I am not going to like.
But playing that game all those years sure did make it feel like I could fly. I have no doubt, if someone put me in a plane, told me how to start the engine and gave me some basic instruction, I could take that thing off.
I am sure landing would be something else altogether!

If Barack was still pResident he’d probably invite him to the Crack House.
I meant the “Rainbow House”.
Oh, I meant the “White House”.
(yes, that abomination by that guy on a fine American landmark.......)
None of this would have happened if he had the Ted Danson plane. The good plane.
"Anyway, like I was sayin', shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it." --Benjamin Buford "Bubba" Blue
Oh you beat me to it!!!!
