it's weird that they specifically call him a "teenager".... I guess 18 is technically a teenager, but he's old enough to vote and old enough to fly a plane for the military where he could kill and die in the name of his country.... plus he demonstrated that he was able to handle the situation.
When I hear "teenager" I think under 17... not a legal adult...
Also, dude looks like he could be in his 30s based on the photo.
Glad no one was hurt. Excellent work done by the young pilot! >


Peters, who obtained his pilots license four months ago, told KCBS/KCAL that he plans to be back in the cockpit next week.

well, sure he does -he's apparently pretty fucking good at it >

I'd trust an 18 yr old gamer over an old fart like me any day :) >

All those years of video games paid off :) >

Sure....video games....lol... because he's young, right?!
Or could it be the many, many hours of training under the supervision of an experienced professional that it takes to get a pilot's license? >

Please stop. If you can't recognize a clear joke reddit is a strange place to be. >

No one is oblivious to the joke, it’s just a lame joke for grandmas.
