Teen tries to steal American Eagle jet
Can't you guys believe this? The 18 years old boy who tries to steal American Eagle jet. He climb over the fence and then he went into the aircraft.
Man accused of trying to steal commercial jet from Texarkana airport | Texarkana Today He should be arrested for trespassing charges. |
I wonder if he actually thought he could fly the aircraft, like he drives a car?
police that he planned to fly the twin engine jet to a rap music concert in Chicago. When the suspect turned his face, two of the responding officers recognized the man as Scott. Scott was taken into custody and transported to the Miller County jail. His charges seem much more serious than trespassing. Chief Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Chuck Black on Monday filed formal charges of commercial burglary and attempted theft of property. Both are punishable by three to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $10,000. |
Would be funny if planes had "panic alarms" like cars do, complete with flashing landing & beacon lights.

Maybe he thought it worked like GTA V |

Miller, as in “Beer”?

Perhaps he was just climbing the fence to get to the Flagship Lounge?

Whats sad here is that this kid is going to prison, and will most likely have a public defender who may or may not push to have him receive a proper psychiatric evaluation. Someone like this with such grandiose plans and ideas clearly is not in the proper mental capacity and rather than treating him like a criminal should be treated as a patient at a psychiatric facility. Too often than not individuals with psychiatric problems enter the system and will never get out. just sad to see

When the E145s were manufactured, everyone was still using hand cranks. |
this kid should get a commendation, not prison, for taking an 145 out of AA's inventory. |
A bit off topic, but, Funny, I used to fly ex TXK and it wouldn't take much to get into the only aircraft on the tarmac overnight. At the time it was twin prop - I don't think there are any more of those though. The E145 would have been a godsend! I remember one morning I was flying TXK-DFW around 0700 and they had to call the mechanic at home to come and latch the baggage door. Waited in the plane for 30 minutes, saw the guy's toyota camery drive up to the AC got out with his tool bag and we were on our way.
For reference the 'extended lot' was a gravel lot literally across the street from the only gate. When you left, a sign asked you to please mail in the $5 for parking. |
Didnt TSA just announce that they want to get rid of security screening at smaller airports?.....hmmm

Wasn't there a kid who stole a plane in the Pac. NW (I think) a few years ago and was caught finally in the Florida Keys or Caribbean?
