Security enhancement should be looked at. Why would the keys be accessible? No one asked who he was? No one reported the take-off? Did he actually use the radio and avoid official attention?

Fullerton airport is where it all started for me as well as CNO. Living in the flight path of both LAX and FUL I spent many hours as a kid plane spotting, and sometimes I would knock on the tower door at FUL and they would let me up to watch and hear the traffic (early 70's) and years later I live near KCNO where I learned to fly in the 90's, two great airports if your're ever in So Cal
And yea I put a positive spin on this
