TEXARKANA, Ark. A 19-year-old Arkansas man has pleaded guilty to trying to steal a commercial plane so he could fly to Chicago to attend a rap concert.
The Texarkana Gazette reports that Zemarcuis Scott of Texarkana pleaded guilty...
Authorities have said Scott was found July 4 inside the cockpit of an American Eagle jet at Texarkana Regional Airport and that he had hoped to fly to an out-of-state concert.
He has no training as a pilot. Police have said he told investigators he thought piloting the plane would involve little more than pushing buttons and pulling levers.

You forgot ignorant stupid.
Things like this do make me wonder about links between videogames and ultraviolent actions.
I am sure the kid has probably done flight simulators, which gave him that idea.

No! That’s the gear retract lever!
Reminds me of the Far Side cartoon:
“The fuel light’s on, Frank! We’re all going to die!...we’re all going to die!...Wait...wait...Oh, my mistake-that’s the intercom light.”
With the bug eyed passengers looking out the window...

Hey! Piloting is an entitlement. And those training/testing requirements are having a disparate impact on who can pilot a plane. So theyre unconstitutional.
Besides, who are we to judge? ;-)

he told investigators he thought piloting the plane would involve little more than pushing buttons and pulling levers. He's right. Hell, FLYING the plane doesn't even involve that half the time. However, taking OFF in one involves a LOT more. And LANDING is even trickier ... if you want to walk away.
On the other hand, there's Zemarcuis ... which says all you need to know.
