History Note: Chico Plane Hijacked to Arkansas

My home, Chico, California, is not often seen as the center of the world, but we do have some distinctions. For example, the first airline hijacking on US soil occurred here. It may also be the only time that anyone ever hijacked a plane to Arkansas.

How charming that a slob like one of us breaks away from 'mass man'. Shows that by hijacking a plane he is, after all, still capable of spontaneous and self-directed activity.

Not run by a machine but actually driving the machine itself for a change.
