Also, no license plate(s), probably no/wrong/improper registration, missing equipment...

But all those are motor vehicle violations, a few bucks and they go away. Those cops are combing the criminal code, looking for something they can hang him with.

Well, it seems they've found something....


A Newman man who taxied a plane to the local pub has been charged over the incident.

The 37-year-old man took his wingless Beechcraft two-seater aircraft down the main street on Friday to the amusement of bystanders who clamoured to take pictures with mobile phones.

The pilot then went in the pub and ordered a cold one.

He does not hold a pilot's licence and was charged with endangering a life. He will appear in Newman Magistrate's Court on November 18.

There you go. He doesn't need a pilot's license, he wasn't flying, and without wings it isn't even an aircraft. But "endangering a life", now that's something serious, and a big enough net to entrap anyone. Spit on the sidewalk... someone could have slipped and broken their neck. Smoked indoors... could have given an innocent bystander cancer. Riding a lawnmower down the street... could have mulched the children, won't someone think of the children.

Instead of telling the guy, That's not cool, don't do that again, and get it towed out of here, they're going to make an example of him so other people don't drive their wingless planes to the pub.

Let's see, he tried to hire someone else to do his dirty deeds...guess who doesn't have the biggest balls of all? How were they gonna do it, I wonder? Concrete jeans? Cyanide? TNT? High voltage?

Charges were dropped on the hit, but since they found drugs when the arrested him they'll prosecute for that.

I had heard he left the engine running and prop spinning.
