So this guy hops a fence grabs a plane, fly's it into the states erratically , tracked by multiple f-16's, ignores all communications from the f-16's and brings the plane down on a road, hops out and hitchhikes away from the scene.

wtf.. glad security was right on it .. errr..

Isn't that like a security risk or something heh

stupid

Death by cop on whole new level...

**Ozarkz** · 04-07-2009, 09:20 AM

He was arrested...

**Scott McD** · 04-07-2009, 09:23 AM

The state trooper who arrested him has said Leon hoped to be shot down because he wanted to commit suicide and didn't have the courage to do it himself.

Holy shit !!

Couldn't he have just crash landed ?? So he had the courage to steal a plane, but not the courage to hit a mountain or something

Apparantly he was really undecided about the suicide thing.

At least now you know there is a cheap and easy way to get back to the US from Canada.

**kmanrox** · 04-07-2009, 10:10 AM

i guess next time he'll plan to head for a state capitol or something to ensure he does get shot down...

amazing... but that's kinda a cool way to off yourself... every idiot shoots themselves or jumps off a bridge, this way is unique for sure

The Cessna 172 continued south over Illinois and eastern Missouri before landing near Ellsinore, about 120 miles south-southwest of St. Louis. The plane landed about six hours after the reported theft, and had had enough fuel for about eight hours of flight, NAADC officials said.

Suicide was just a cover. Dude was really looking for the brewery from the movie "Strange Brew".

What a crazy story. Thats pretty nuts.

I hope that guy gets the help he needs.

**collegeboobies** · 04-07-2009, 10:19 AM

a plane with 300 people would have been shot down. 1 guy they figure ah lets see what he'll do

I was in Thunderbay last month, the airport is the smallest little thing you have ever seen. There are houses that back directly back onto the air field LOL! It would not be difficult AT ALL to steal a plane out of that place.

No suprise

**Scott McD** · 04-07-2009, 10:43 AM

Potential hijackers will have read that thinking "niiiiiiiiiiice".

Flew out of there twice it is tiny.
But I think this was taken from an Aviation school.

**JackJones75** · 04-07-2009, 03:22 PM

**alias** · 04-07-2009, 03:36 PM
