French man charged with impersonating pilot at US airport

[mhm]

A 61-year-old French man has been arrested at Philadelphia International Airport and charged with impersonating a pilot after he was found in the cockpit of a plane scheduled for takeoff.

In an incident with echoes of con man Frank Abagnale Jr, whose exploits were chronicled in the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can, the crew of a US Airways flight found Philippe Jernnard in the jump seat behind the pilot on Wednesday.
