Title: US Kid,19, flies to Caribbean after stealing plane
Post by Stimpy on 07/09/10 at 04:19:28

I know, I know that it's just a silly story from the brain-dead London
Daily Mail (which is not much better than the enquirer) but with Anna
long gone and celebrating on vodka and vicodin by now the world
needs a new hero!

"Barefoot Bandit" on the run in the Bahamas:
Teenage Facebook 'hero' flies to Caribbean after stealing plane.

* Has stolen cars and FOUR planes to get from West Coast in U.S. to Bahamas
* His mother says: 'I'm glad he's able to enjoy beautiful islands'
* Learnt how to fly by playing computer games and reading instruction manuals
* Police after him since 2007 when he broke out of a juvenile detention centre
* Colton Harris-Moore, 19, has more than 70,000 followers on Facebook
* Mom also said: 'Colt is not to be flying a single engine-plane. 'When I
heard that, that just upset me. The rules are, he carries a parachute with
him and he takes two-engine planes. Tell him he needs to call me'
(what a mom!!!) ;D ;D ;D

The public speaks:

- US air defences again..!!
A Cessna flies 1000 miles over US airspace
with no flight path lodged.??
Were the US military and radar controllers sleeping..??
Heads should roll. The USA always blames others for their
own failings..Gary Mckinnon being a prime example.

- Having trained to fly in a single engine Cessna, quite how
he managed to plan, fly, navigate, re-fuel it and remain
undetected for 1000 miles without any formal training
astonishes me.

- He's clearly a kid of great talents if he put them to good use.
If they had any sense, they'd recruit him to the FBI.

- I also love that he stole only 2 packets of crisps and a can of pop
from the petrol station - no money, and just enough to survive on!

- All men die, but not all men have lived.

- go for it fella.... i doff my cap to you !!!

- What a legend!
