We know flying can be boring at the best of times but is it really cause to go ripping your clothes off? Passengers on board an Alaska Airlines flight from Seattle to Anchorage were the latest to experience an in-flight strip show.
When it is almost time to land, most passengers are returning to their sets and buckling up their seatbelt…but one passenger decided he was having none of that.
Instead, 20 minutes out from landing, he decided it was time to do a mid-air streak through the aisles.
Former Alaska state senator Johnny Ellis was one of the passengers on board the plane who witnessed the bizarre incident.
He tweeted that the naked man was tearing down the aisles upon the plane’s descent, yelling and waving in a commotion before he was tackled by passengers and locked in a bathroom.
WOW. On my flt from SEA 2 ANC, a completely naked man ran from front of plane to back, yelling and waving. 2 big guys maybe one Air Marshall tackeled him and locked in bathroom. Some fear & distress @ passengers NO word from Cpt or Crew. Waiting now @ gate 4 law enforcement !!

Johnny Ellis got a number of requests for photographs of the incident but his response was a little sobering.
“I do not have photos or video of Naked Guy! He was not happy or mean drunk. Might have been drugs but most likely psychotic break. Bad stuff happens if you stop psychotropic medication. Sad not funny.”
Eyewitness, Johnny Ellis.
The aircraft landed safely and officials at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport reportedly took the unruly passenger into custody at the gate and then transported him to a local hospital.
The incident comes just a couple of months after another passenger stripped naked on a Malindo Air flight from Malaysia while watching porn on his laptop.
His hands were bound with a piece of cloth for the rest of the flight and he was arrested on landing.
Some cabin crew are jokingly referring to the incidents as “high-jacking”.
