Remember that 18 YO German kid, Mathias Rust, who landed his Cessna in Red Square back in the 80s? Totally undetected all the way from West Germany, at the peak of Russian/Soviet power.

Oh, I had forgotten about that incident.

It was 1987. That was the year I graduated from college in AZ and was unemployed and trying to find my first job.

How time flies.
