I just got done reading an article in the new Rolling Stone about a kid on the run from the law who steals planes for fun.  You really to go buy the issue as I am not going to be able to do the story justice it deserves as the author Jason Kersten did.  It;s the one with Robert Downey Jr on the cover. Colton Harris-Moore is a 19 year old outlaw.  And he’s real! This kid is on the run, eluding the cops as he loots vacation homes and steals small planes to take for joy rides.

I get behind Colt because he isn’t hurting anyone. He’s not a drug addict, based on the article it seems he doesn’t even drink. He’s just a kid making his own rules.  He taught himself how to fly using the internet while hiding out in empty vacation homes.

Here is a photo from a store he robbed. He left a little note on his way out!!! 

This kid just makes me believe.  Period.  I don’t want to go out and steal a plane tonight but deep down I love knowing that Colt might and for nothing more than the thrill of flying.
