Yeah, right.

I just hate when my Cessna 182 inserts its own ignition key, fires itself up, removes the yoke safety stop all by itself, removes all of its wheel chocks, works the foot pedals to turn around many of the land based obsticles that would nose it into the ground, steers around other aircraft on its own, pulls its accelerator knob back and carb heat on, revs down the runway and takes off at an angle which causes flight, yet maintains, apparently, a lesser angle for two hours without flipping itself over. I just hate when that happens.

This "pilot" has a lot to answer for, IMO.

(Arkansas accent) Ah did not ... fly ... that ... airplane, and I never told anyone to lie about it, not a single time, never. Now I need to get back to the work of the American people.

Not that I claim to know anything about flying (other than on my computer), but I am familiar with the Two Rock area. Nothing but dirt roads and pasture land. The plane was not at any established airport, probably took off from a dirt road on his son's ranch.

On an unrelated note, you don't cut down trees, wear high heels, suspenders and a bra by any chance? :0
