You know your a bad pilot when your plane decides to commit suicide rather than take you flying.

"Started up and ran away." Sounds like a hand-prop incident.

That's what I was thinking, was he trying to pull it out by the prop?

 

[Grum.Man]

cold weather + weak battery = hand prop newbie

 

[Brad Smith]

I'd name that plane "Christine". A self-starter if there ever was one!

 

[Matthew]

Pulled the prop through a couple times to move some oil around, doesn't realize mags are on, hilarity ensues?

 

[Grum.Man]

Dontya just love how you can crank with the starter till the battery is dead but one flick of the propeller and off she goes!

That's my home field, I know the pilot and have flown with him. Haven't heard what happened yet. He almost always has his dog with him in the plane, wonder if that's a factor.

Dog wanted to go solo?

"the plane was coming out of the hangar when it powered up and got away from the pilot"........hate when that happens!

The news report said the pilot was in the plane, so doesn't sound like a hand propping incident.

 

[3393RP]

Maybe the dog propped it.

The quotes read like similar quotes from articles about various, usually accidental/negligent, shootings.

"... And the gun went off."

Nah, somebody pulled the trigger. Might not have meant to, but they did.

The plane powered up as it was coming out of the hangar. Had to be the dog.

Sounds like he was trying to pop the clutch.

Except that it went downhill...sounds to me like the reporter doesn’t doesn’t understand gravity and made something up.

 

[SkyDog58]

Those planes with a pull starter are dangerous.

The mere fact that you put “thought” and “news” in the same sentence is indicative of inaccuracy.
