Fuel Truck Stages Standoff With Plane
CARTERET COUNTY -- It was a standoff that could have had explosive repercussions. It was a standoff that a local business owner described as "regrettable." Southern Air at MRH owner Ryan Segrave said that despite the possible explosive situation, he doesn't think safety was an issue when an employee of his purposely use a jet fuel truck to block the exit of a running plane. Pitting jet fuel against spinning propellers was a standoff that was created over just $85 -- a facility fee… (www.wcti12.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
If you can afford to fly a plane like that, you can afford $85 poxy dollars.
The pilot sounds like a bum. If you don't like the fees, don't park at the FBO!
If you don't like the fee, then DON'T land there.
For those of you who are lambasting the employee who parked the fuel truck in front of this King Air, I would like to share with you something that I learned from very reliable sources: the pilot had phoned in before arriving asking for information regarding landing fees. When told that it is $ 85 he had said that he is not going to pay and had the temerity to land. If you work in a store and have the responsibility to look after it and somebody makes off after stealing a carton of cigarretes, a book or a mink coat, anything, you tell me what it is (it is spelled R O B B E R Y) you would do.
If I were the FBO owner and this A$$hole already burned me.... The least he would get is a fuel truck in his way... Followed by a glock in his mouth...
I agree with the fees. I disagree with what might be classified as criminal behavior (the fuel truck). Boo MRH. A facility to be avoided.
