Taxing into hangar = illegal?

"A well-known crop duster, flight instructor and FBO operator in his native Oregon, [Swede] Ralston will be perhaps be best remembered for the time he flew through the blimp hangar in Tillamook, Oregon."

Blimp hangars in general are an underappreciated aviation resource.

Never use a big word when a diminutive one will suffice.

Do you mean we should eschew obfuscation?

Was FO on an A320 that was marshalled partway into a hangar at SVMI in Caracas for maintenance.

A helicopter tried to taxi into a hangar in Santa Fe a couple years ago, with very bad results.

Midway has a hangar we taxiied our Jetstar into one afternoon in January. Maybe it was because we were from California but it seemed like the neighborly thing to do so it must be legal. Then it is more comfortable to pour your scotch and sodas before the ride to the hotel too. I kind of miss those days. Of course the last 10 years of never flying north of MIA isn't all bad.

As long as you don't scuff anything up, the FAA could care less. If you scuff something up and you were not taxing out to go flying or returning from a flight, the FAA could case less. It all about what your intentions are. If you scuff something up and you were taxing out to go fly or coming back from a trip, depending on the dollar amount (25K), the FAA will get involved. TO what degree depends on whether or not any damage you cause exceeded 25K or someone required hospitalization. I onced worked at an airport where a car was on the ramp going 50MPH+ and it slammed into a tzxing Cessna 210. The 210 was just coming from one FBO to another to pick some folks up, and the FAA did not so much as call to ask about how bad the damage was, much less how up. The fact that the airplane was not coming from or going flying took the FAA out of the accident (damaged was more than 25K) in this case.

Said operators are permitted to "Travolta" their aircraft around indoors
See, it's all right there....

"Travolta... that just sounds like the right word.. that is creative, and I'm for one LOL.

 

[Big Duke Six]

It does have a motive ring to it. It can be used both as a noun ("Taxi onto the Travolta and gun it!') or as a verb ("Steve, can you Travolta the G-4 around to the front for me? I need to leave in an hour.")

Just make it 'pithy'
