"I can land my plane in NY, right in front of the bar ..." (1956) On
September 30th, 1956, during a drunken argument in a New York City Bar, a man
named Thomas ‘Fitz’ Patrick claimed he could fly an airplane from New Jersey to
New York and land on the street outside the bar. To prove himself, ‘Fitz’ left
the bar, stole an airplane from a New Jersey airfield at 3am, flew without
lights or radio completely intoxicated, and landed the airplane in the street
in front of the bar. The owner of the plane was so impressed that he refused to
press charges, and Fitz was only fined $1000 for his stunt. Two years later,
‘Fitz’ got into another drunken argument in which another bar patron refused to
believe his wild story, so he did it again. This time finding himself in prison
for 6 months…. At 97, ‘Fitz’ is still with us. Here he is at the retirement
home for old sailors on Long Island … Go Fitz!
