The story goes that this doctor had problems starting his aircraft -It had a dead battery. So with ignition on, a little choke and brakes "off" he attempted to start the aircraft manually, i.e. swinging the prop. She started OK, but since the brakes were off the craft got away from him. At high taxi speed it cleaned up about six light aircraft belonging to alocal flying club. The attached shows the last aircraft that the 'run-a-way' attacked. Come to think of it, I haven't seen better slices in a loaf of bread. The damage was just under 2 million dollars.BobG
