Sheriff's officials said 25-year-old Troy Long of Bellflower attempted to steal the two-seat Cessna 152 on Friday. Authorities say Long entered the airport office and began taking keys for airplanes. He then pulled a gun on airport workers when they tried to stop him.

Hop in your car and drive to Golden Bird.

Ah! You're a member of the Earth-Pushing Society! ;)
And young Troy is now a member of the Earth-Towing Society.
