Fascinating video of events leading up to Russell stealing a plane and going for a joy ride before crashing it into a small island in Puget Sound.

Airplanes are easy to take off but not so easy landing.

The sky king! He had a wonderful sense of humor. Realistically, he woulda wound up in some sort of mental health situation and been out in less than 10 years.
Sad that he ended it all.

I heard about 15 minutes of the conversation he had with air traffic control on the local radio station last night.
He was crazy, he knew he was crazy and said so, but he also didn’t want to hurt anybody.
He just wanted to suicide and go out with a thrill.

I have been on Ketron Island many times, visiting my uncle and aunt. We would go to the beach to pick up oysters and heat them on rocks heated by a fire. Steamed clams in sea water were a treat, dipped in butter. Ketron is accessible only by ferry. That fire started by Russell crashing the plane could have burnt out the entire island. Those 20 or so people who had homes there would have lost an island paradise.

Crashing and dying does not make the definition of “successful”.
