2-cessna citations mount each other
I quickly scanned the thread title and thought this was going to be a little more risqué. Or is it ? From the quoted article; “accidentally thrusted during taxi” |

The story says that the Citation V had been "parked on the runway since November 5." I guess this will teach the crew not to "park on runways."

Did anyone give a "ride report"?
|
I have flown at an airport where an sometimes used runway was on occasion used for parking aircraft. Peachtree Airport in Atlanta....very busy airport.
|
Interesting. They are both in the grass, and there wheel marks behind the V. Wonder if brakes/chocks failed and it rolled?
"t is unclear how many passengers were on board either planes." Oh my gosh.... |
N973CG landed on 13R and was cleared to taxi on A across 13L to the Cessna Citation Service Center. They requested a phone number for the Service Center and the tower gave it to them. Surely someone wasn't trying to dial a cell phone while taxiing? Or, was it the dropped phone maneuver? That one caused a friend's kid to roll an SUV recently.

Looks like the mishap occurred on the ramp of the Citation Service Center, not on the 'runway'. |

Not surprised by you thoughts seeing as you are from the “Dirty South” ......
[Break] For those puzzled by this ‘mystery for the ages’ - Only one of those jets had the engine covers installed, and the cockpit sunscreens in place. |

Looks like a citation workshop/. Engines test run up turned bad. Like the A340 in TLS a few years back ?
|
I think its beautiful that we get this rare glimpse into how baby 182s are made.

Why on earth would they be doing a run-up on a crowded ramp while taxing out ?
The cell phone scenarios I mentioned seem less likely on the ramp but then, I have had coworkers with their heads buried in the phone while I'm turning into the blocks in a widebody. 'I already called clear right' is the reply if you question it these days. This multitasking texting is a generational thing I suppose. |

Being reported in some quarters that the incident was initiated by the aircraft clipping wings during taxi.
