Gets harder to watch every year. Rip Sky King...

RIP Mike, I miss you ya stubborn prick.

Dude went out on just own terms living his dream. We should all be so lucky.

Indeed he did Yuri

I got nothing RIP Sky King

It's hard because I love his spirit but so hard as I've lost a few friends to their own way.

I’ll never condone it but I get it.

This hits me in the gut each year. :…(

Every. Time.

I see Sky King I watch Sky King I share Sky King And you are correct, the older I get the more this video gets harder to watch.

"The candle that burns twice as bright, burns half as long" RIP.

I watched the movie yesterday, not realizing it was the anniversary of it. I was in tears at the end of it. It might have saved my life.

Nice edit but it cuts out the bit where he points to the source of his angst

🫡🫡🫡💔

FUCKING LEGEND !!!! RIP 🙏

And yet, we all watch it with deep empathy and sadness in our hearts for him, his family, and his friends.

Who ever filmed and stitched that video together deserves a medal 😭

"I played video games before... so I know what I'm doing a little bit"🤣🤣

He was fed up with life. All he did was work and paying high taxes and felt under appreciated. How many men out there can relate? I want you to know that you do matter. Stay strong kings.

Steals of multi-million dollar plane. Criminal. Takes a joyride that put thousands of others into harms way. Careless. Reckless. Other losers praise him for his Cavalier attitude. Suicidal tendencies. Psychopaths. What's the difference between him and some kid that steals a car?

Guy’s a legend. Went out in a way we all dream about. RIP ☝️

"Yeah, I have been out there, it's... It's always a nice drive." This one hits me hard, oddly enough. It's like he went from ATC to just a buddy talking with him for a minute with this line.

He was a selfish prick He could’ve killed a bunch of people He is not a hero or a legend

Always makes me emotional this… a man on the edge, not knowing what to do, can’t see the light, working man, ffs painful. I think as men we can all feel what he did.

“I remember when sky king happened. I remember within a couple days of Richard stealing the plane, the memes and stories online. I didn’t see a single person ask why he did it. There was just this kind of, the kind of solemn understanding almost of yea, I get it” Wendigoon

I stop every time I see a post about him. I always cry. I always think of him. RIP SKYMAN.

RIP SKY KING. We still talk about you. Dude went out his own way.

Interesting how over time the people have edited out the audio part where he shares his angst that Alaska Air wouldn’t hire him because he was a white man. I think it’s important insight into what kind of things drone him to do it

The calmness in his voice for what he is about to do is the most painful thing about this video

Fair winds Sky King. I dunno why but everytime I see this it just gets me.

Was he a idiot? Yes. But he made sure to stay away from people. Flew over the lakes and mountains. Some people just have it with living and he in the last hour or so had the most fun he had in his life. All his demons disappeared. He knew it was a one way trip.

How many are just one bad day from this?

Yep thanks guy - it’s 6:50am and I’m a blubbering mess. RIP Sky King, you sweet prince.

I wish he landed that shit, took the charge and lived the rest of his life as an American hero.

Let me guess, the part where he talks about not being able to get a promotion because he is "just a guy white" is edited out?

It’s wild how this hits every dude who watches it so fuckin hard

it never happened.

Yep

I like how you edited / censored the part where he says they wouldn’t consider him for a job because he’s White.

I would have been his friend. He needed one.
