Australian man 'taxis' aircraft to outback pub

Post by 93Regina »

Police in Australia plan to charge a man who drove his aircraft down the main street of an outback mining town and parked it at the local pub.

The 37-year-old drew laughs and praise from locals of Newman, Western Australia after he taxied his Beechcraft two seater prop-driven aircraft from one side of town to the other at 2.30pm before coming to a stop outside the Newman Hotel’s Purple Pub, a popular local pub. He then apparently went inside for a drink.

Police said the man’s behaviour was “pretty stupid” and he will face charges, if an appropriate offence can be found.

Expired Airship tag? No handicapped endorsement (clearly appropriate).
Right hand Drive unapproved?
He will face charges, if an appropriate offence can be found.

Oh, Flight log not up to date?
