Noticed on 'field is this "wheel chocked" Piper Arrow PA-28R that's impounded

Pilots who take their aircraft away without paying dues must be prepared to spend time at a federally funded OZ "Tourist Resort" and/or Health Farm (but only if caught!)

Could be an ideal undertaking for those seeking early retirement - there's top class medical attention available if needed (great place for heart by-passes) - security to restrict unwanted "guests" - up-market sporting facilities and well organised daily activities

Aircraft owner (see image) no doubt infuriated, click VH-ARO to locate and HERE for details on OZ Law (it may be needed)

In the USA a Piper PA-28 aircraft with two persons on board became entangled in power lines well after dark and when very low on fuel (like, ..run out of!)


The blacked-out local community took to the streets and were entertained for more than 5 hours as the rescue teams extracted the uninjured occupants
