Air mechanic steals Horizon plane from Seatac, flies around for hour then crashes

They know who he is, he's 29 yo, no one else was on board.

Jets were scrambled but I don't think they shot him down. He just flew around and around Ketron Island and then crashed on the island.

Plane crashes near Seattle after 'unauthorized takeoff'

Quote:

Alaska Airlines tweeted, "We are aware of an incident involving an unauthorized take-off of a Horizon Air Q400. We believe there are no passengers on board. More information as we learn more." The stolen plane reports were received about 8:30 p.m. PDT, and the plume was reported about 15 minutes later, Flockerzi said.

I think he flew around for more than 15 minutes, his path shows he circled the island many times. A video caught him flying when it was still daylight, he crashed after dark, I believe.
