Colton Harris-Moore, whose two-year teenage crime spree included the theft of several small airplanes — which he had taught himself to fly from manuals and videos — pled guilty in 2011 to 33 counts of burglary and theft, and now has served his sentence and is seeking funds through GoFundMe to start his legitimate flying career. “Something that I think should be said right out of the gate is that, this is not a sad story,” Harris-Moore writes at the GoFundMe site. “This is about airplanes!”
