One year while I was instructing, a rich jerk taxed his twin (Beech Dutches) out of the hangar (yikes), parked it at the pumps, left both engines running while he left the airplane to fill-up on fuel (yikes!yikes!!). Guy continued to make really stupid mistakes but never got hurt.
We at I69, in Batavia Ohio, have witnessed several dumb mistakes lately.
I mentioned one earlier in this post.
Another happened a month or two ago. The owner of a beautiful 1947 Lunscombe tail dragger went to leave the Sporty’s Pilot Shop transient tie up area. Pulled the wheel chocks and then hand cranked the prop.
Unfortunately, the throttle was wide open! The plane went around and around and around in a 75’ circle. Just missing a Bonanza over and over.
The owner chased after it until he lost a finger when it got caught in the elevator and he tripped.
80 year old Chairman of Sporty’s, Hal Shevers, ended up chasing after it with a Chevy Tahoe then upset it to get it to stop!
Was quite a show!
