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.

Interesting how nobody mention that the kids was black. This airport is surrounded by miles by black neighborhoods, and now every one is sticking their heads into the sand and pretend they don't see anything. This by the way was bought up by my very good friend that I have know since we where both juniors in college over 45yrs ago. And yes, he is black and I am white. Together his family and I have done a lot of flying together and he just wonder out loud to me as to why? I don't know? Do you? We both agree the kid has to be one of the dumbest kid around. O well, maybe it is best left alone.
whats race have to do with this?
I was just assuming--given the kid's name, where he's from, and where the incident happened--that he is black. But i think the story is ridiculous and hilarious no matter what race this idiot is. I do agree with you that we play a big game of pretend in this country that no one cares about or notices the person's race in situations like these.
wow!
People really seem to ignore the chain. They really need to figure out how to get it off before they can go.
Brainless thief corralled by chain on C152..
After conviction, thief again corralled by chain gang.
