It all started here at the Big Bear Airport. A bit later, it ended in the
middle of the desert. Police say two 14-year-olds, stole the keys to one
boy's father's airplane and stole it from its hangar.

Given the storm at the time, the likelihood of clouds obscuring the
peaks, and a virtually moonless night, I'm amazed this flight ended so
well.
