Episode description
This is a special episode of Air Traffic Out of Control, featuring one of the craziest ATC recordings ever captured.
In 2018, a man named Richard Russell who was a ground service agent for Horizon Airlines working at Seattle Tacoma Airport figured out how to operate a plane, with no known aviation experience, and stole one of the Horizon aircraft for a joy ride as it sat on the runway in maintenance position.
Listen in on the (barely believable) ATC recording.
