A 27-year old male was looking for ways to get money to buy drugs. He climbed the chain-link fence at Pensacola Airport and boarded a Boeing 727 that had just landed. All passengers and crew had disembarked and a cleaning crew of three was on board at the time. The brandished a rifle and announced he was hijacking the aircraft.
