‘Drunk’ Florida man told feds he tried to steal plane so he could ‘visit his sister’

A highly intoxicated Florida man rammed his car through a locked perimeter fence and onto an airport runway, where he attempted to hijack a series of small planes so he could visit his sister some 300 miles away, according to an FBI probable cause affidavit unsealed Friday.

Once Bryan John Parker, 58, reached the tarmac of the Daytona Beach International Airport, he “proceeded to run around, urinate on the taxiway, and approach flight school aircraft,” the affidavit states. It says he then climbed inside “at least two unoccupied small aircraft,” before attempting to “open the door of one running aircraft, yelling at the pilot to ‘go, go, go.’”
