A old friend of mine, now retired, began flying in the RAF and was on fast jets as a young man. Later in life, he went on to become a commercial airline pilot.
He maintained that (of course in theory), an empty passenger aircraft could also be flown with a considerable degree of abandon if the pilot knew how to and was sure of remaining undetected by anyone who might object. We were never sure if he was winding us up, and I’m sure you can neither confirm nor deny knowing anything like that FF? ;-)
