    Pilot Flies off with Fuel Hose attached

    What: BELL 206B crop-dusting helicopter
    Where: Newton Texas
    When: October 13, 2010
    Who: pilots name not released
    Why: After reloading the chemical tanks and refueling, the (registration 499BH ) N499BH BELL 206 ROTORCRAFT, lifted off while the fuel hose was still attached. The two seat helicopter went up, then, of course, crashed. It fell over on its side. One person on the ground was injured.

    George’s Point of View

    This is no joke, as someone on the ground was severely injured.

    However, it still reminds me of high school, when my date at the drive-in left the speaker hooked in the window, and when we left, I also left the window. The speaker took it out, hooked on the frame and kept the car from moving. We didn’t crash, or fall over, or even dent my window frame. Of course, we were in a Pinto.

    (I won’t go into how, when it was repaired, I tried to roll it up and it still wasn’t there, how the glass company goofed and replaced my perfectly good windshield, how I ended up with both a new door window AND a new windshield and an apology.)

    It’s a good thing the helicopter pilot’s name wasn’t released. Even if someone else was doing the refueling.

    How embarrassing.
