> Pan Am estimated that between the ages of 16 and 18, Abagnale flew more than 1,000,000 miles (1,600,000 km) on more than 250 flights and flew to 26 countries by deadheading. As a company pilot, he was also able to stay at hotels for free during this time. Everything from food to lodging was billed to the airline company.

Simply unbelievable.

And interestingly enough, Dennis Ritchie is among some of the notable people to have lived in Frank Abagnale's hometown.
