Do I understand that the grandson did it to an aircraft he wasn't even supposed to be in?
Did the owner press charges?
You understand correctly.
No, but they did demand the airplane be restored to its previous condition (which was done), and they're
partnering with another company to open a new FBO at the field.
So the FBO had to pay $50,000 in that and stands to lose much more than that in buisiness from the sounds of it. I'll bet that kid really got a good talking to, huh?
Uh, his grandpa kicked him out for a few weeks... then started talking about putting him in charge of the line crew.
After the line guys learned of this, they all threatened to walk out, so he's at a desk doing busywork now.
Spoiled brat, he is.
