On August 10, 2018, Richard “Beebo” Russell — later known online as Sky King — captured global attention when he stole a Horizon Air Q400 from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.

Mid-flight, he performed a barrel roll over Puget Sound, then deliberately crashed the plane on Ketron Island. No one else was harmed.
