Airnet Accident KCLT

[Pietrantonio]

I wasn't on shift tuesday night, but from what I know, the Airnet Lear 35 was taxiing and a tug failed to stop at the stop sign before crossing the taxiway. I'm going to try and get pics tonight of the Lear.

Don't scare us like that.

Vehicles and airplanes don't fare well together. oops. The two I've seen the airplane definitely won though.

Of course I thought about the title after I clicked submit thread. I tried to edit, but you can only edit the post, not the title.

Didn't mean to scare anyone. My apologies...

Double click the title very quickly and it can be edited, if you would like.

Yeah no goody with the title.

Anyways plane is a complete loss. Pictures don't look good. I didn't take them so I'm not going to post them on the internet. Everyone is ok and that is all that really matters.
Anyone that flies into CLT can probably guess where this happened on the field.

I fly out of CLT five days a week. I always get nervous when I taxi past that area where you have all different types of vehicles crossing the taxiway. They are supposed to yield to aircraft, but a lot of times they don't.
