Keith Wright, a man that claimed to be missing his meds, disrobes during a flight and cause the plane to be diverted. Sort of a really weird and creepy version of the mile high club. Alone. The 50-year old from New York also allegedly struck a flight attendant, according to a report from the Associated Press. US Airways Flight 705 was forced to make a stop in Albuquerque, New Mexico on a wild flight earlier this week, authorities said.

Two off duty police officers finally subdued him and passengers said they were never in a panic and flight attendants did there jobs well. CBS Atlanta has the story with photos and video.
The relied workers could even joke about it when they were ready to finally take off and head to Los Angeles after the incident. Wright was removed and arrested and as they took off a flight attendant joked during the usual seat belt safety announcement, "a reminder to everybody to please keep your clothing on." A passenger remarked that it "got a couple chuckles."
