You can't blame the guy for what he said he would have had it in the neck from people higher up that he was not s turning and would have been extrememely annoyed not only for the ground incident but for hitting the gate so of course he isnt thinking straight his mind is on other things everyone says stupid things occasionly in their life so give him a break. In fact I think congratulations are in order instead of ruining somone else day by hitting the cessna he broke his own aircraft also at least he noticed it. I could name a couple of incidents with tail draggers including oshkosh last year.
