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.

You can back a King Air with reverse thrust.

... You can back a King Air with reverse thrust. I had interpreted it as they had parked a King Air in front of your plane... Depending upon where you park, pushing your plane backwards might not be an option...

That's not so bad. At the Hickory airshow a few years back, we had to move a DC-3, so the Connie could leave, and they didn't have anything handy to move it. We got some Explorers, and pushed it out of the way, with the tailwheel in the grass, even! Not something I would want to do on a regular basis! g -- Jim in NC
