Looking to introduce himself to attractive female flight attendants, a man dressed in a pilot uniform used fake identification to finagle his way into a pilots' lounge at Beijing Capital International Airport.

Although he failed to meet any eligible flight attendants, the man surnamed Zhang found that he could get served lunch for free just by wearing the pilot uniform, which he had bought at a second-hand market.

Unfortunately for Zhang, the incorrect stripes on the jacket's shoulders gave him away when he tried the trick a second time later in the week. Astute security guards handed him over to police for further investigation.
