plane almost stolen by student pilot...
COMPTON, Calif. (KABC) -- A student pilot was arrested after he tried to steal an airplane from Compton/Woodley Airport. Sheriff's officials said 25-year-old Troy Long of Bellflower attempted to steal the two-seat Cessna 152 on Friday. Authorities say Long entered the airport office and began taking keys for airplanes. He then pulled a gun on airport workers when they tried to stop him. He got into the Cessna and started the engine, but he was stopped from going anywhere by a chain… (abclocal.go.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

People really seem to ignore the chain. They really need to figure out how to get it off before they can go.
One of those "I knew I was forgetting something" moments, haha!! I wonder how many lessons he had up until now if he forgot about tie downs... Makes for a good laugh for the rest of us!
I'll stick to always getting to deviate around them in my lil Airbus 320.
