I have a commercial pilot's license with an instrument rating. During primary flight training it took about 13 hours before I was performing good landings on my own. Flying a light plane is not difficult, but to read a book and then actually do it does indeed show a high level of ability. It's actually amazing.

I know Im just an online guy, but if you havent seen it and you are a fan of this feel, I bet you "You Dont Know Bo" will be worth your time. The idea was to make if feel a bit like a comic book. You can clearly see the comic book story here while the real story is told if you look at it right. This documentary is UNBELIEVABLE... every once in a while you come across a channel where you can't wait to see the rest of the content- even fewer feature production like this for well over an hour. Well done by the creators. Well done.

Phenomenal Story! A modern Billy the Kid. I can't imagine owning a plane and having it stolen. Mostly owning a plane... LOL Joy riding in a private plane is unimaginable. I wouldn't have the guts to do that.

I’m from Washington, and watching this has been a crazy experience. I live a hour and 20 mins from Renton and couldn’t imagine a teenager pulling off some of the most stealthiest crimes . And he got to see the world . I hope he’s doing good

@@marcuslarwa9098 Not all the time. Many aircraft dont have insurance because the owners want the airplane as a status symbol but cannot actually afford to make payments on the plane, storage, fuel and yearly REQUIRED maintenance. Also, the insurance companies will fight the owners tooth and nail to NOT payout claims as that is not a sustainable business model. Insurance companies don't remain solvent by paying out to the policyholders so they will use any reason to stiff the owners.

I Just Posted Th1s dude wtf are u talking about he stole planes from small hangers on vacation islands. Also u can’t fly a plane without insurance it’s not like owning a car. I have to register the plane and u can’t if it isn’t insured. I’d bet 95% of those planes are owned by rich people and the other 5% are probably small business. Nobody owns a plane that can’t afford it u sound real stupid. So insurance companies aren’t going to pay? The planes were stolen by a fugitive and then crashed why on what grounds could the insurance companies not pay out the claims.

cheers to him from france he's got his best life during those times like we say here i'm sure he enjoyed every bit of it and again cheers to him since he's free now, how ballsy move at that age... ^^ except the loneliness, i didn't thought about that

I’m glad the prosecution was lenient on him and only gave him seven years because he didn’t hurt anyone he was just having fun running from law enforcement. This kid Colten was actually very smart in my opinion. He learned how to fly planes and drive boats on his own by reading instructions. When you hear about his upbringing anyone would feel bad for him. Even some people knew he was on the run and still helped him. But he was a loner who mainly did for himself. I hope he is doing well now because I think he’s actually a good person in his heart. And he’s very smart.

He practically turned himself in. The reason he ended up there was just to show all the searchers back home tbeybdidnt have a chance. That spot he chose to grassland his last plane was the furthest point he could choose from where he lived. There were no forests in the Bahamas to hide in anymore. No more airports to grab another plane. He was literally at the end of the line. At any other time this he run up to people and tell them who he was so he could be chased? No. Just the Bahamas because he wanted to be caught in one last chase. There's no where to hide in the Bahamas.
