Buffalo Wings

[jinman]

Here's the recipe:

1. Two bored 13 year-old boys
2. One Ford Explorer, keys in ignition
3. One executive jet hangar in Buffalo

Mix two boys with Explorer for a few minutes of joyriding around the hangar's ramp. Crash Explorer into hangar door and into hangar. Thoroughly trash one Falcon 900EX wing and become pinned in the Explorer, requiring the fire department to have to cut you out. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Serve with a large garnish of grief for parents, aircraft owners, and insurance company. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Who thinks they have enough liability insurance? /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

The Falcon 900EX also spun around and hit a Falcon 50. ...more big <font color="green"> $$$ </font> .

Hmmm .. looks to be about 250,000 worth of damage.

Those planes will be expensive to repair also! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I wasn't there. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif The neat thing about being in the aviation training business is that folks send you pictures of things you don't see anywhere else. That's how I got these pictures and the background story. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

i live 20 miles south of buffalo NY and have not seen that in the paper, when did this happen? OF COURSE the airplane owners are at fault! they should have known that it was possible for a couple of teenagers to crash a car into the hanger and run into their planes! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Frank, I'll have to check the original message to see when it was sent and the date on the photo files. I'll check next week when I go back to work. I'm on vacation now. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Looks like it's time for that 2 million $ Umbrella policy to kick in ! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

jinman; Did the FAA try to say this one was pilot error too? /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
