funniest and true was a microlight pilot taking Granny for a flight on het 80th Birthday. He forgot to get in with her or rather got out to hand start the rear prop with the throttle on full.
started the engine watching Granny bouncing down the field as it streaked off leaving him behind.
The Microlight took off and disappeared into the distance with family and friends chasing in cars below.
luckily the engine stopped and the microlight made a successful unassisted landing into another field where Granny was retrieved not being aware the flight was anything but perfect or that he was not on board somewhere ))
Think there is an accident report somewhere
