@ phallica - 12.08.18 - 12:32pm I wonder if he practised on Flight Simulator before trying it out, he managed a barrel roll before buying the farm so that's one way to go. It was a 76 seater... pretty good flying |

@ eyesore - 12.08.18 - 12:49pm he was a mechanic.. Working on the plane he nicked ...had a bad week by the sound of it Only one source called him a mechanic, he handled baggage (thousands apon thousands he recalled to air traffic controllers) and de-iced and shunted planes.. He did his aerobatics in the sunset, he said it was beautiful.... he wondered about a loop de loop, I read his fuel was getting low but he ignored attempts to guide him to landing... |

He's proven that a nut job can still go and nick a passenger plane, take it to suburbia, and hold the lives of thousands of people with it.

@psnality | 12 August 18 | |
While he was flying it he jokingly asked if he would be offered a job as a pilot if he could land it. Unfortunately he didn't get the job. |

It reminds me , obliquely, of an old Chaplin film Modern Times where a factory worker went crazy through monotony (it was banned at the time for being Commie ) This bloke went on about his job to air traffic control ... |

@ shadow27 - 12.08.18 - 11:58am I do this in GTA all the time, the stealing plane bit. That's pretty much what the guy flying the stolen plane said over the radio to the air traffic control dudes trying to talk him down They kept asking him about his piloting experience and he kept saying how he'd ''played video games a bunch''. I seriously doubt anyone would be able to learn the requisite technical skills needed to fly and operate a real plane, just from playing Grand Theft Auto alone, although it probably would be possible if they had a high-end gaming PC running a full-scale flight deck simulator. |

I couldn't even fly that well. I kept crashing it.
