14 year old jacks a Cessna
Sorry if old but:

"FORT PAYNE, Ala. - A 14-year-old boy stole a Cessna and went on a late-night joy ride, taking off and landing twice before being arrested, police said.

The teen suffered minor cuts and bruises on the second landing because the plane came down hard, causing the landing gear to collapse and the propeller to dig into a road beside the airport, police said.

The teen allegedly took his mother’s van from their home Wednesday night and drove to the airport in Fort Payne about five miles away. He said he then found the key in the unlocked plane, removed the Cessna’s tie-downs, started the engine, and began driving around.

Cowart said the teen could have entered through the typically unlocked airport gate or climbed a fence.

Fort Payne is a town of 13,000 people located about 80 miles northeast of Birmingham."

1. They're gonna throw the book at his ass
He'll probably be in jail until he's 21 years old.
