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.

Actually that’s all there is to it. Of course it helps a bunch if you know which lever to pull and which button to push at what time.

“he thought piloting the plane would involve little more than pushing buttons and pulling levers.”

The trick is which buttons and levers when.

Its actually quite easy to steal a plane, if one knows how. Most do not need keys to start.

Well, it is, it's just that they're not interchangeable. Sounds like a future congressman.

I look at his mugshot and I’m torn between deciding whether he’s cocky stupid or straight stupid.

This is the kind of person most think of as ‘Liking Rap’.
Maybe he was used to stealing cars and thought he was ready for the Big Time! “I’m good enough, I’m dumb enough, and doggone it, trashy girls like me!”
