• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Compton/Woodley Airport plane almost stolen by student pilot

He got into the Cessna and started the engine, but he was stopped from going anywhere by a chain connecting the plane to the tarmac.

Oops!

There was a teenage kid that the press named the "Barefoot Bandit" who stole a plane and flew it to Bermuda.

Wow! He was quite a one man crimewave. He is currently in solitary in Washington State. Not because he is a highly dangerous death row inmate, but for his own protection apparently.

Student pilot my ass...didn't he learn anything? Surely he'd have spotted the chain during his pre-flight inspection!
