I have been involved in aviation on a prfessional basis for some 35 years, including 3,500 hours as Space Shuttle captain. During this time I have encountered many instances of aircraft exploding on ramps near to fuel bowsers, as a result of unthinking pilots using mobile phones. It should be noted, however, that all these aircraft were Beech Bonanzas, which are seriously hot ships, and not to be confused with the kind of 'ordinary' aircraft which you plebs fly.

Crab out.
