Sneaking around, bypassing security, fixing airplanes and flying them in nasty conditions?
I'd call it hacking.

I was just thinking that, or maybe a TV series. This is great stuff. It reminds me of Catch Me If You Can.

As low-brow (or pop-cultural) as this comment might be, I can't help but make the analogy: repo men are the modern day ninja. Being a ninja was never about martial arts; it was about subterfuge, and about protecting the assets of your lord by any means necessary. In the modern age, the lords are the banks.

#9Getting the plane doesn't seem like the scary part. You know you're safe once you're flying away. The scary part is knowing that you just made enemies with someone who owned a $100 million toy. If just one of them is the vengeful type they might have your entire family killed.
Talking about it publicly seems about the dumbest possible thing to do.
