Oops. Too much Red Bull perhaps?

That happened some years ago, Kirby Chambliss I think.

Certainly taxiing fast. I wonder when he did his last S-turn in order to see what was ahead of him. I suspect the first aircraft had been n front of him for at least a ‘little while’.

It seems to me that pilots of airplanes with Red Bull written on them do many things fast. I'm not sure that aviation safety benefits from this!

More bothersome to me will be that "money" will simply pay to fix it, and the pilot will forget it and think about how quickly he can do the next thing, and another plane they'll just hand him. For most of us, such a careless blunder, and resulting damage, would be profoundly embarrassing, an insurance call and deductible payment, and having our plane out of service for months. Whether it would have made a difference, I don't know, but I did not see any up elevator control being held, nor applied to counteract brake application. At least try to prevent accidental damage!

Yep, Kirby Chambliss, 15 years ago... Here he says he was rushing.
