Aero-News Quote of the Day

"I don't call it a love story. I call it a manipulation story and I think her strength is that she will never be manipulated by anyone again."

Source: Dillwynia Corrections Centre chaplain Christine Gyllins, on the strange case of Lucy Dudko, an Australian librarian who in March 1999 brandished a gun during a helicopter flight over Sydney, and ordered the pilot to land in the exercise yard at Silverwater Jail so she could break her boyfriend, John Killick, out of prison. After six weeks on the lam, Dudko and Killick were caught by police. After serving seven years of her 10 year sentence, Dudko was freed Monday... but she is forbidden from seeing or speaking to Killick... at least until he is eligible for parole in 2013.
