Walked up to do a maintenance run up of a customers C206 today, wasn't able to get it started so I strolled back to the hangar, heard the thunder behind me and turned around and headed back to tie her down while it passed. On the way the young pilot passed me and I said g'day as you do and tied the plane down, & headed back to the hangar again. Boss said go get the plane so I headed back up in the middle of the storm only to watch the young commercial pilot taxi up the runway, and by the time I got to the safety of the high wings of the 206 I was in a good position to watch (and take a video) as the Saratoga lifted off and headed into the storm. I'm unsure of his outcome and he probably made it home fine, but after 30 years flying I am firmly convinced that some folk will just never learn.
incidentally i taxied back to the hangar 10 minutes later with a blue sky overhead .......
