Car hits plane at TEB?

Hope the Lear owner went for the Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage!

Getting the impression it probably wasn't a Yugo or Geo.....

No, it was a Lear. And it has the impression of a automobile.

Woman fell asleep while driving down Industiral Ave...

Asleep... . More like doing her make-up, taking on a cell phone, smoking a cigerette, drinking coffee, tuning the radio and all while trying to change lanes (without a signal).

I talked to our pilots that were there when it happened, and the reports they got were that the 18 yr old girl passed out or something to that fact, and she went right through the fence and into the Lear.

Years ago while working up in maine we got a call from a guy.

"You the owners of a 210?"
Yes
Ummm my car just hit your plane
How could your car hit our plane? It's in the hanger
So is my car.

Well turns out this guy was renting one of our 172's and started his '83 oldsmobile to warm it up in the winter while he's pushing the 172 in. The thing slips out of gear goes round and round and ends up hitting the plane. Smashing into the wing and engine and banging the the tail into the hanger.

Did a ton of damage.

In the end the guy had Dairyland Insurance.

Getting money out of them was real tough. I think we bankrupted the company.
