Drunk takes plane for a spin
A drunken man reeling from a four-day booze spree allegedly stole a plane and took it for a spin, despite having never flown one before.
Louis Paul Kadlecek, 21, broke into four hangars at an airport in Houston, America, before stealing two planes and crashing one into power lines.
According to Skynews police said he used pilot's manuals to taxi two planes around the airport in Angleton before taking off in one.
But about one mile later the two-seater Cessna crashed into 100,000-volt electricity lines and cut off power to a large area.
Police papers quote Kadlecek as telling officers he saw a bright light and screamed, "Oh, ****."
Deputy Sheriff Charles Wagner said Kadlecek knew the airport's layout having performed community service there for a prior arrest.
When asked by police where he intended to go, the wannabe pilot reportedly replied: "I don't know. Mexico, maybe."
Several people saw the plane plunge 100ft but one, convinced the pilot was dead, drove off to a golf game.
Kadlecek managed to walk away from the crash unhurt and walk three miles back to his home before being picked up by police.
He was charged with theft and if convicted could face 20 years in jail.
