Let's see here:

1. Flat battery -- forgot to put the trickle charger on or left his dome
light on
2. Tried to crank by hand -- alone, no doubt; after all why ask for a
standby safe guy?
3. Brakes not set -- oh, OK, well they would have frozen up in the
winter anyway;
4. $500K damages -- Insurance company
5. Insurance cancellation notice to follow

Careless .. I'm surprised the prop didn't dice and slice the pilot ...

Cheers,

Dave

Yikes!

And I recall there was an accident with a Corsair recently that was
moving without a forward safety ground guide. Fatality I think.

Be careful out there.

Thanks for posting!

It went to court - of course - and the good doctor claimed some sort of
latent fault with the brakes.


I'm not qualified to comment either way, it's a plane crash (of sorts) so
I'm sure the official report is out there somewhere.


It's just another case where a bit more prevention (chocks) is worth the
effort, had he thought of them in time.


This is one of those cases where the Internet story is infinitely more
attractive than the truth. I posted the pics and clippings of the event
and the court proceedings as they happened - as the incident was at my local
GA airport.


Yet, on a regular basis, some retard posts pics with the fabrication about a
jealous wife with a chainsaw. Such is the Internet, I guess.

Thanks for posting John; F6F not F4U.

No ground safety escort = accident.

RIP

It is not an F6F, it is a TBM. And I don't know what the TBM pilot was
doing before the accident, but if he had been doing "S" turns as he should
have, the accident probably would not have occurred.

As for ground safety escorts the only ground escort typically used are wing
walkers to make sure the the wing tips are clear of obstacles.

If I remember the accident happened last year at Oskosh and as far as I am
concerned the TBM pilot should be in prison. The pilot of the small plane
I believe was killed.

I remebered wrong it was the passenger in the homebuilt that was killed. I
have not been able to find out what happened to the pilot of the TBM, maybe
someone on the news group knows.
