All right, she's got to be related to someone on this forum. Fess up!

I’m guessing she got into her daddy’s VR gear and forgot to take the gear off when she left the house.

Good for her getting the engine started. Using “good” in a very restricted sense—she could easily have killed someone. Ambien strikes again perhaps?

Hmmm, doesn’t have a driver’s license, but can C&D a B200? Wonder where and from whom she gleaned that skill?

She’s still did less damage than the two US Air pilots that started a King Air on our ramp (not our plane) and let it roll into a building…

I don’t think she is related to anybody on Mudspike.

In that case she would have been able to start both engines and take off with the plane.

That’s why the good folks at Martin-Baker invented the ejection seat. Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing…to include a parachute landing in my book. :grin:
