Pretty funny story. If there’s any major corporation that deserves having a plane flown into one of its stores, Walmart is certainly at the top of the list.
I obviously don’t want to see anybody get hurt, but somebody stealing a plane and threatening to fly it into a Walmart is a very hilarious thing.
We’ll just have to see what happens with this. He obviously won’t be able to fly around forever. It’s also probably safe to assume that the pilot was dealing with some issues, otherwise they would not be doing this.
This whole situation reminds me of the Sky King guy from a few years back.
