I'm not sure if this has been posted previously, but it's not a story I was familiar with:

Like the article says - imagine doing that today? They'd probably send you to the chair.

I wonder how the story would have changed if the owner of the first plane he stole had pressed charges.

I'd guess he would have spent enough time in jail to dissuade him from doing it again.

"How about a black Trans Am?"
"Naw, it's been done."

Heh.
