Skyjacker (Ronald Reagan)

"Skyjacker" refers to Ronald Reagan's controversial 1971 act of intercepting an Air Force plane to carry him from Texas to Washington, D.C., without official permission. Reagan, then a private citizen and actor, falsely claimed he was acting to protest government policies, which many viewed as a dangerous form of civil disobedience. His actions sparked debate about the legality and ethics of such acts of defiance and highlighted questions about political protest methods. The incident is notable because Reagan later became U.S. president, illustrating how political activism can have complex and long-term implications.
