Richard "Beebo" Russell, aka "SkyKing," has become a cult hero.

Russell was the ground service agent for Horizon Airlines who stole a commercial airplane from Sea-Tac International Airport on Friday night.

Instead of ramming into a building, Russell did a barrel roll. After seemingly running out of gas, Russell crashed his plane into a remote island in Puget Sound.

Tributes are flying in celebrating his final flight as a "revolt against the modern world."

Hits you right in the feels...

That pilot? His name was #RichardRussel. He was the reaction. He was the revolt against the modern world. And I love him unconditionally. I identify with his final act of defiance. It was art, imitating life. The king is dead. Long live #SkyKing ✈️
