Just a Texas Ranger;

. Norris doesn't request clearances, he states intentions.

Hijackers squawk 7500 when . Norris is on board.

Leading cause of disorientation for pilots: . Norris

. Norris never "loses" altitude, he simply gets rid of it when he no
longer has any use for it.

When . Norris flies, the altimeter setting is 00.00. . Norris is
never under pressure.

No one knows what . Norris' tale number is, nobody has ever gotten that
close.

. Norris was told to ident, the controller was greeted with a fist
coming out of his radar screen.

. Norris cannot be tracked on radar, if he appears, it is too late; you
are already dead.

I wonder if this is the same 414, sure would suck to be trying to sell it after this.
