Catch Me If You Can is one of my all-time favorite movies. I never thought we’d see another Frank Abagnale, Jr. though.
A pilot has been arrested at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport for flying passenger planes for 13 years with a false licence.
The 41-year-old Swede was in the cockpit of a Corendon Airlines Boeing 737 about to take off for Ankara with 101 passengers on board when the Dutch police arrested him after a tip from the Swedish authorities.
The Turkish low-budget airline was informed in advance and had a second pilot lined up to take over the flight.
I must admit I am impressed–though this guy wasn’t clever enough to forge Pan Am checks and play doctor and lawyer on the side. Full story here.
Good to know you’re listening when you’re on the podcast. 😉

Yeah, I knew we discussed that–I just needed a blog post! 😉
Where does one go about getting a fake pilot’s license? I want one.Dear Homeland Security,
I’m kidding.
Sincerely,
Josh
I can’t help you with that, but if you want help with a fake CIA ID, the TSA has helped:

@Josh: Geez. I just listened to our podcast from last week and must have been completely spaced out when we discussed that.
Nyquil before podcasting = awesome.
