Stolen Business Jet

I like CNN's take on it:

"The plane didn't even require a key to start the engines!"
 
The guy that stole the plane has a Westwind type rating. The type rating has this as a limit: "THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO PILOT-IN-COMMAND LIMITATION FOR IA-JET."

Wonder if he is...er...was an SIC pilot at a sim training center?

The owner of the previous 135 company that I worked for is the one who invented "The Club" for cars. They also came up with a lot of security devices for airplanes. We had this high-tech electronic lock/key in the cabin door of the King Air, that I'm sure they will sell a lot of now!

Hey, what do you want from a "news" network that couldn't get the airline, origination point, or aircraft right for the Toronto incident?:banghead:

True, but I like that Chuck Roberts guy though. Had a quick conversation with him in the ATL airport -- reminded me a lot of that actor guy from "Sideways".

How does one pilot convince five people to go for a joyride in a stolen jet? I also ask how does five people convince one pilot to steal a jet and go for a joyride? I wonder which scenario took place. Either way, this guy should have an easy time in jail. All he has to do is hook up with a drug lord and he is set. Yeah, I stole a jet and went to Georgia, but when I get out, I am going to steal another jet and fly to Columbia. Let's just hope he is smart enough to know this Columbia is not in South CArolina, nor Maryland.
 
I heard on the radio that this guy once supposedly a stellar pilot, with born skill. What a shame that he took it all and threw it down the drain.

Side Note: I like the comment about being on a checkride for a drug lord. Pretty Funny!! I would hope that this isn't the case but either way he is done for good. No more legal piloting for him....but hey...he didn't seem to mind the first time.
 
alright the st augustine airport manager said the airplane left sometime between midnight saturday and 5am sunday morning. but then it says that it got into gwinnett sometime between 9 pm saturday and 6 am sunday. just wondering if this guy is capable turning back time so as to leave at midnight and arrive 3 hours earlier at 9pm haveing travelled 350miles. youd think the news would figure that out eh. sorry it just struck me as odd and i sat here scratching my head for a minute

Was he ranting "I am not drinking any [bleeping] merlot?" :D

If I were that actor, every single time I ordered a drink, I'd ask for a merlot, just to mess with people's heads.

Hey if so maybe that might make shower time in prison more bearable then having an "American History X" moment.
