I may have some facts incorrect, but the main story is as follows:

This happened several years ago in New England at a Naval Air Station
airshow. The warbirds were told by the Navy not to "S" turn while
taxiing. Of course, the officer who issued that directive managed to
park his car in the middle of the taxi way. The Navy paid for the
subsequent repairs.

That explanation sounds altogether too simple. I think there's way more to
this story than is posted here. Just my thought......

Actually, it sounds like the truth. In the past, I have encountered some
military "aviation experts" who did some really boneheaded stuff -- and
encountered some really sharp ones, too.

If the officer in question told them not to do "S" turns while taxiing,
he was clueless and probably stupid enough to park his car on the
taxiway.
