The Curious Saga of the Cessna and the Lawnmower
Take one brand-new Cessna 182, with only 80 hours on it.
Put a lawn mower (with gas in it) in the back seat. Add a power inverter
with a laptop plugged into it.
Slosh out a little gas during and after landing. And just as the pilot
smells the vapors and starts feeling around for the leak, add a spark.
Don't add a cabin fire extinguisher-the pilot had removed it because it got
in his way.
Add fire trucks, about 15 minutes later.
Spend a few minutes thinking about what this would have been like airborne,
en route.
