The Test Pilot
Grayson County, OK
“I always wanted to fly a plane†— Deputy Rodney Campbell was sent to a call involving the unauthorized use of an airplane Saturday. Lt. David Hawley, working from Campbell’s report, said someone gave Campbell the description of a man who took a white airplane at the Tanglewood airstrip. Campbell saw the plane nose down and a man matching the given description nearby, who he questioned. The suspect stated, Hawley said, that he was driving by and saw the plane on the runway. He found the keys inside and always wanted to fly one. He started the plane and was doing figure-eights on the grass when the plane took a nose dive into the ground.
Campbell arrested the 32-year-old Denison man on a charge of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. He remains incarcerated in lieu of $1,500 bail.

I guess he also always wanted to sit in an 8 by 8 room with bars also.

I’ve always wanted to drive a bulldozer, too, but you don’t see me running over buildings and sh*t!

I always wanted to run a good-sized fishing boat, so, this past winter I bought one. Our wanna-be pilot could’ve bought a used Cessna for $1,500!

Cops with no sense of humor. They could’ve let the guy have his dream come true!
