Try this one: Sabian convinces an aircraft owner (to remain nameless) to paint the Sabian Air name on his aircraft and pay double the going rate for hangerage. Then charters out the owner's aircraft for a flight to some game farm. The pilot (Sabian's) leaves the aircraft parked on a slope for the day and the fuel valve in the on position. All the fuel flows into one wing. Pilot starts one engine but could not start the other and could not figure out why. Sabian flies out a Baron with an engineer to see why the engine won't start and to bring back the passengers. Realises that engine won't start because there is no fuel in the applicable wing. Sorts it out and flies the aircraft back to Rand.

Here's the best part: Charges the hapless owner for the Baron and the engineer's cost to fly out and recover the aircraft and also does not pay him for the flight to or from the game farm.

The owner naturally removed his aircraft from Sabian as fast as he possibly could.

So what was it you wanted to know about Sabian Air??
