Fool crashed trying to solo by himself

[texasbagpiper]

A millionaire just bought a brand new $30,000 Infinity with a Rotaxx 912 on it from my CFI. This guy was so arrogant that he said if the plane wasn't delivered on a certain day he was going to cancel the order. He was out of the country and said if it wasn't at the airport when he got back "Olympics" to forget about it. He wanted to take it to his homestead and fly it for his family on memorial day. Bearing in mind the PPC was already ordered and almost finished my CFI had to haul balls and go to Infinity and pick it up.

This millionaire jack ass get a few hours training and says he's done with training and packs up his ppc and takes it home. He has no endorsements to solo, no nothing, just a few hours in his log book. Long story short, he crashes and breaks his leg on his first flight trying to solo on his own. Cheers, Seth

Millionaire's don't need training to pilot anything. Just us poor working slobs. ;)

I just feel sorry for the plane...it didn't deserve that kind of treatment. From what I know, it was a very sweet plane with a Rotax 912 and lots of the extras. :(

Seth:

Did he have an N-Number on the plane?

Offer him 1000 dollars for the whole thing .... he may go for it ....

dang, can you imagine putting that 900 series on a single seater .... :p

How strange, that he would be from the same town as AFU's are built in...he could've crashed 6 AFU's for the same money.:rolleyes:

I just read a good book called "Richestan" by Robert Frank. It details the lives of the ultra rich and how there are plenty of new rich people lately. Most rich people really are different. Being a butler is apparently a hot new career worth 100K to kiss rich people's booties. Mabey for 120K I'd do it..... :)

I did just hear on ultraflight radio that the hottest selling PPC right now is that very model with the 912 and all decked out. That can't bling them up enough for the rich crowd.
