That’s a rare breed of stupid.

So close to Darwin Award Candidate status - hopefully his next attempt works out.

for his next trick, he'll attempt to steal a helicopter, which is many times more difficult to fly than a fixed wing.

Texarkana, the crossroad of stupidity.

Asked about his lack of training as a pilot, Zemarcuis Devon Scott, 18, allegedly told Texarkana, Ark., police that he didn't believe there was much more to the task than pushing buttons and pulling levers...

Keep following your dreams, you little superstar.

Get me Rex Kramer.

I’ve played enough GTA to know how to pilot an aircraft and even land a plane on top of a sky scraper.

yea, and it wasn't like he was trying to steal a Cessna or something.
it was a passenger jet. [omg]
I wouldn't even take a crack at that unless i was already up there and something went wrong with both pilot and co-pilot.

Even if he got it off the ground, landing the darned thing would be much harder.

he'd never land it. he'd crash it, period. the only way he could make that work is if he knew how to program the autopilot/gps system.
you can program them to take off, navigate, and land at known locations. but even then......you'd need to disengage the autopilot and know how to reverse the thrust and how to effectively use the brakes.

In Donkeybrain's defense, flying a plane techincally is a matter of pushing buttons and pulling levers.
