Mooney stolen

[ryoder]

I left my hangar unlocked because I thought I was going to fly again, I forgot to lock it and I came back and the plane wasn't there.

I don't know what to do. This stinks! This is total BS!

Nice joke,,,

 

I was at Chester airport O05 in California one day and there was a couple there who were totally devastated.  They came back from their overnight trip to find that their Cessna was stolen during the night. It does happen......

Hey!! Mooneys are the best bang for the buck in GA, and the C is the best bang for the buck in the M20 series.

[ryoder]

Yeah, cause guys who steal planes are all out bang for the buck

I believe Colton is still incarcerated, so most likely wasn't him.

 

...besides, you need shoes to fly a Mooney.

[ryoder]

Who is Colton?

The so-called Barefoot Bandit.

 

Of interest to pilots (and this thread, albeit tongue-in-cheek) because he stole a number of aircraft.

 

Amazingly, he learned to fly solely from MS Flight Simulator.

 

He became the substantiation for what I often tell people: the only really hard part about flying is landing. He basically crash landed all the planes he stole.

.......until your first serious in-flight emergency.

Ha!

 

The hardest part about flying is affording it.....which is why he stole planes.  

 

Our tax assessor keeps telling me that because I own an airplane I am rich and should pay more than my share of taxes.  I keep telling her that because I own an airplane, I'm poor.  She continually declines to purchase my plane for what she assesses it at.

Still gotta land, remember: TO optional, landing required.

 

IFE just makes the landing a bit more challenging.
