Oh, groan!

Whadda dumb ass. I know it's easy enough to take off...just wait until you hit 70 or so and then pull gently and up you go, but sheesh!!

I feel sorta sorry for the plane's owner though...those things are expensive to fix or, in this case, replace. But he doesn't get his full measure of sympathy because he left THE KEY IN IT!

In my experience, small GA airplanes aren't paragons of security...the average automobile is five times more secure, IMO.

Where the heck is Maggie to comment on this?
