Bula, that is complete horse****. The pilot in question has been refreshingly and completely honest about what happened. He is about as straight a shooter as I have ever met. I am yet to hear him make any excuses about the incident to anyone I know who has spoken to him.
There was no 'sore nose'. There was some aggressive activity on behalf of an individual. I think we can all understand the temptation to be aggressive if someone pranged our aircraft. However the fact that we don't get aggresive with someone who has just had an accident and who could be injured or at least in shock is what separates us from our four legged friends.
