Was a good watch. Brought back memories of how crazy this story was when it happened.
On August 10, 2018, a Horizon Air De Havilland Canada Dash 8-400 was stolen from Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (Sea–Tac) by 28-year-old Richard Russell, a Horizon Air ground service agent with no piloting experience. After Russell performed an unauthorized takeoff, two McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle fighters were scrambled to intercept the aircraft. Sea–Tac air traffic control made radio contact with Russell, the sole occupant, who described himself as a "broken guy, got a few screws loose, I guess." About 1 hour and 15 minutes after takeoff, Russell crashed the aircraft on lightly populated Ketron Island in Puget Sound, killing himself.

Watched it tonight. I knew very little of the event prior to seeing the documentary.
I wish the widow would have participated in it, but I understand how that would be extremely difficult for her and who knows how the documentary would have painted her.
Overall, great doc.

SkyKing is a reminder that we're all a little broken on the inside. Rest well SkyKing.
