He was only a few miles from the airport...after he ran out of fuel yesterday.BE200Driver said:
They had trouble trying to get it back to the airport, so he convinced them to let him take off. The problem is, he back taxied past the point in which he was suppose to start his take off roll. People tried to stop him to no avail!

Why oh why does anyone (hint, hint FAA) let some moron take off that just landed becuase he couldn't do simple math.
This moron deserves to have his plane totalled.
Hopefully no one was hurt. Well it would be nice for the pilot to have some head trauma. (Then maybe the sense would be knocked back into him)

I cracked up when I saw that!!! What a dumba$$.... First you run out of gas then you run your wing into a 18 wheeler!!! Those cessna's have a couple of blind spots you know!!! Its also sometimes hard to see an 18 wheeler when your head is in your a$$!!!!! Atleast he walked away....
I hope they DON'T total it, then he'd get a really nice big check from the insurance company for probably way more than the 210 is worth. I hope they pay to have it fixed so it'll be down for maintenance for 4-5 months while he wants to go on his little golfing trips. Obviously he needs to be re-educated on flight planning. I can't figure out why people can't figure out that their engines need "fuel" to run and get them from point A to B without ending up at C (Crash). what an IDIOT!!!Dangerkitty said:

He deserves a little more than that, like to have is ticket permanently revoked. You eluded to my main question... Who gave this guy "permission" to take off... I can't imagine it was an FAA inspector. Had to have been some idiot local "official" .Dangerkitty said:

I can't imagine the insurance picking up the tab on this one. It's a pretty cut and dry example of a 91.13 broadcast on television. I'm not sure how the insurance works (never had an aviation claim/knock on wood)... They may cover it, but then immediately refuse to underwrite another policy.landlover said:
Insurance usually does not cover other than "normal" operations. I am not sure that they would cover claims from reckless actions either. Maybe there is an underwriter on here that may enlighten us. I pray he DOES NOT get his claim approved. I would hate to think that my insurance premiums would go to encourage more stupidity like this.
