They are saying he had no flying experience, for those who fly, is this possible?

If so it’s a huge security issue but also so sad that the man was so distraught as to feel that was his only option.

PS Thankfully no innocent people were hurt I don’t think?

Grew up watching old WWII movies. Lots of planes and in cockpit camera. So years later I am sitting in the co pilot seat and my pilot buddy asks if I wanted to fly. Heck yes!

He asked me what I knew and I described what the controls did as I had learned watching the movies. He said. "Its yours." and I was able to fly straight. ascend, descend and turn the plane.

Take off and land? No way but I suppose with more knowledge or movies...It would be a spectacular crash and only a small fireball...

BTW, I learned how to shift gears as a kid watching my parents do it too.
