Killer Thriller Docu: He Stole a Plane with Zero Experience...Then Took Off
In August 2018, Richard “Beebo” Russell, a ground service agent with no flying experience, stole a commercial plane from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport and took it on a wild solo flight. Director of the new Hulu Documentary #SkyKing, Patricia E. Gillespie, shares what actually happened, using real air traffic control recordings and interviews to piece it all together. In Sky King , she sits down with Beebo’s friends and family to paint a more personal picture of the man behind the headlines. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
