Last year on the last Sunday of OSH fly-in I taxied over to
Basler for a easier departure after turning in the rental car. The line
guy said they would not need to move our plane so I chocked and secured
controls. In less than an hour they moved our Legacy 50 feet and turned
it 180 degrees with the tail to taxiing aircraft. The original line
guy was nowhere to be found and the kids (18 to 24 year olds) who moved
the plane apparently did so without consulting anyone else. They said
they did not see the turn limit placard on the nose gear, luckily no damage was
done.
I am looking for a DO NOT TOW flag with my name and phone number
added for the nose gear. I might take a photo of the plane with the flag before
I leave too.
