Ep. 157 Sky King
Episode description
Richard "Beebo" Russell was dubbed the 'Sky King' after he made an unauthorized takeoff from the Seattle-Tacoma airport in a 76- seat passenger Bombardier Q400. He was followed by fighter jets as he flew to Mount Rainier and did an impressive barrel roll... all without his pilot's license.
