It's time to go; you could push the plane away from the truck and taxi
away, but now you're wondering: did they block it for a reason? Is the fuel contaminated? Did someone notice something dangerous about the plane that you don't see? Did you forget to pay your fuel bill? What??? In the event, I did an extra careful preflight, took large fuel samples, did an extended run-up and took off with no problems. Would you have? I would assume that the line-guy brain farted and forgot to move the truck after fueling. I would have departed, same as you. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

I'd complain to the FBO about the "hassles" and be glad that you could push
back and get away.. good thing it was not a 12,000# King Air. BT "Dan Luke" wrote in message ... "George Patterson" wrote: Truck broke? Yep: starter busted. Interesting.
