Two teens were arrested near an airport after investigators say they stole a small plane from a private airstrip in Uintah County and landed it at Vernal Regional Airport Thursday, authorities said. Uintah County Sheriff's officials said the teen boys, a 14-year-old and 15-year-old, had left a group home somewhere in the Wasatch Front area earlier this week and had been staying with friends in the Jensen area.

What kind of Cessna is that?
The kind with wings that can fly. Lol sorry. This is where flight sim x probably came in. Taught them how to fly and land. Just glad they weren’t hurt but I’m sure there in a lot of trouble.
There may be truth in the rumour that flight simulators on home PC's.PC' s can teach people with correct skills to clamber into the sky. About 3 years ago a young man taught himself how to fly. He flew all over Washington, British Columbia. From there, he went on a stealing spree of light singles. Eventually he made it to Bermuda before being arrested by the local Constabulary until he was turned over to US MARSHALS. Recently a young man from the North West stole a DASH-Q-400 from Frontier Aviation. He actually did a role in the twin! He eventually crashed, sadly he was suicidal. Fortunately it did not turn into a German Wings where the pilot killed about 170 passengers and crew. He Captain was locked from the cockpit. This is where anti-piracy precautions must be reconsidered for the land and ground. Just get a boot then secure it to the aircraft to it.
