You conveniently left out the part where he walked through a hole in the airport fence.

Airfields are expected to be secure areas. If you can walk through a hole in a fence there's issues.

Remember a guy stole an entire airplane a few years ago (RIP Sky King). Airplanes don't have ignition keys.

I shared the link to the entire article so not sure how I left that out. And yes, there was a hole in the airport fence but he got so far because people trust these workers but that can be abused. And in that case (sky king), the guy was actually a maintainence worker who stole the plane. So just saying its okay to be vulnerable just because we trust all actors around the vulnerability, especially when its as easy as a freaking hole to abuse that trust is not a strong argument. RIP Sky King.

Is that the legend who managed to do a loop-the-loop?
