Airport officials say around 7:30 a.m. a 17-year-old girl breached the fence of the airport and then entered a King Air 200 propeller driven aircraft and started the engine.
After starting the engine the aircraft began to move and pivot and eventually crashed into a building and fence, airport officials said in a release.
Once officers arrived on scene they located the female sitting in the pilot’s seat and wearing the pilot headset. Officials say she appeared to be disoriented and was uncooperative when being taken into custody.

Boy I remember that time I stole a plane.
Boeing was MAD.
Luckily I was able to fly it ad land it without ever being inside a cockpit before.
This girl wasn’t so lucky :)
Left wing is great .
go girl power.
Did she have a pilots license, have any idea how to fly a plane?
Did you put her up to this?
FAT is where I learned to fly. Good times.
And it all started when we gave them the right to vote........Just sayin'
The teenage suspect was heard to say “First person who says something about ‘Women Drivers’ gets it GOOD!”
“It worked on my flight sim program at home”
Drugs.
Again.
I once took one of my friends flying with me who was a big Microsoft Flight Simulator fan. He said that he had downloaded the profile for our plane and had used it quite a bit. He had memorized all of the speeds for take off, landing, cruising, etc. etc. and had a good understanding of everything about flying the plane. So I told him that I wasn’t going to give him any hints, just to take me for a ride, while I took care of the radio communications because I picked him up at an airport with a tower.
He did just great on take offs and landing and everything in between... He had never flown a real plane before.
“Luckily I was able to fly it ad land it without ever being inside a cockpit before.”
hey, just like Will Smith in Independence Day being an ace pilot of an alien spaceship the first time he sat in its cockpit! you two are simply AMAZING!
“And it all started when we gave them the right to vote........Just sayin’ “
You are correct.
I've been a pilot 50 years. I have Microsoft Flight Sim. I believe it's quite possible.
She’s got nothing on this guy:
On August 10, 2018, a Horizon Air Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 was stolen from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (Sea–Tac) in SeaTac, Washington. The perpetrator, 29-year-old Richard Russell, was a Horizon Air ground service agent with no piloting experience. He performed an unauthorized takeoff and two McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle fighters were subsequently scrambled to intercept the aircraft. Sea–Tac air traffic control made radio contact with Russell, the sole occupant, who described himself as a “broken guy, got a few screws loose I guess.” Approximately one hour and 15 minutes after takeoff, Russell committed suicide by intentionally crashing the aircraft on the lightly-populated Ketron Island in Puget Sound.
