Man poses as fake US Airways pilot in real life Catch Me If You Can stunt
Alleged fake pilot arrested on US Airways flight at Philadelphia International Airport
PHILADELPHIA - March 21, 2013 (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police have arrested a French national after he allegedly impersonated a pilot on a US Airways flight.
Police say 61-year-old Philippe Jernnard LaRocelle, of France, boarded a West Palm Beach, Florida bound US Airways flight at approximately 6:20 p.m. Wednesday wearing what appeared to be an Air France pilot's uniform.
He was a ticketed passenger and police say he somehow talked his way into the cockpit, settling into the jump-seat behind the captain's seat.
When the actual pilot entered the cockpit, Jennard identified himself as a 747 pilot for Air France.
