Barefoot Bandit
« on: July 16, 2010, 08:12:50 AM »
I wonder how that kid managed to steal and fly an airplane with no training, without killing himself.   :airplane:

Stealing that Cessna in Indiana, then flying to the Bahamas...he must have had to land and refuel to I would imagine.

Cracks me up.  Bet hollywood will line up for the rights to the story.

Heard he taught himself by playing an unnamed flight simulator. Has anybody seen the handle "BrftBndt" in game?  :noid

That was only his latest flight.  He's stolen and flown several other planes over the last couple years.

Only problem is, he manages to damage (media term is "crash") every one on landing.

This is the kid that stole a Citation a few years back and did a stretch for it.  He's a pilot and he needs to go to a Federal pound me in the bellybutton prison.

You have him mistaken for someone else.  This kid has never served any prison time for stealing a plane nor is he a trained pilot.
