Fake Pilot 'Hitched A Free Ride'
An unemployed man wore a pilot's uniform to hitch a free ride in the cockpit of a commercial flight, Italian police claim. The 32-year-old was stopped at Turin's Caselle airport on suspicion of using false IDs, a cap and uniform to convince crew he was a qualified pilot. He managed to fly for free inside the cockpit aboard a flight from Munich, Germany, to Turin in April, according to Carabinieri paramilitary police. The two real pilots flew the Air Dolomiti plane while the man, who has not been identified, did not touch the controls. The case is reminiscent of that of Frank Abagnale, who pretended to be a pilot, and whose story was made into a Hollywood film, Catch Me If You Can, starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead role. Italian police said they tailed the man, who called himself Andrea Sirlo on his Facebook page, for months after receiving a tip-off.
