This is better than an action B movie or a soap opera.
http://www.ajc.com/news/police-pilot-tried-to-194150.html Having the
testicular fortitude to ask the cops to send a fuel truck to top you off
on the active while being surrounded by the police after allegedly
trying to run-over them with your 1937 DC-3priceless. There has
to be some Hollywood producer out there that would want to tell this
mavericks=99 story on celluloid. Maybe the same one that
auditioned the L-39 fly-bys over the Santa Monica pier.
For the inquiring minds a couple of more urls to this misadventure of an
intrepid DC-3 driver.

Jailed Delta pilot suspended
Man accused of trying to run over Griffin police with his private plane.

Delta Air Lines has suspended a pilot while officials investigate
charges he tried to run over two Griffin police officers with his
private plane.
Dan Wayne Gryder, 48, remains in the Spalding County jail, charged with
two counts of aggravated assault and obstruction. He is being held
without bond and is scheduled to be arraigned on Friday, the
sheriff=C3=A2=82=AC=84=A2s office said.
Gryder, a Delta pilot and private aircraft instructor, was arrested
Wednesday at the Griffin-Spalding Airport.
=C3=A2=82=AC?He is suspended pending the completion into the
investigation in this incident,=C3=A2=82=AC=C2=9D Delta spokesman
Anthony Black said Thursday.
Griffin code enforcement officers were called to the airport Wednesday
on a report of a pilot disrupting the airport. Gryder was driving his
car across the runway and taxiway, Griffin Police Investigator Bryan
Clanton said.
Police said the suspect gave two officers a fake name. After learning
the pilot was Gryder, the officers tried to issue citations, police
said.
Gryder refused to sign the tickets and boarded his plane, a 1937 DC-3A,
police said. He started the engine and told one officer that if she
moved, he would strike her car, police said.
The officer, who was standing next to the plane, moved out of the way
and summoned backup.
More Griffin officers and Spalding County deputies flooded the area and
ordered him to stop, but Gryder continued to taxi down the runway,
police said.
Gryder got to the end of the runway and tried to take off, but he was
out of gas. Police arrested Gryder and took him to jail.
Gryder=C3=A2=82=AC=84=A2s actions disrupted air traffic,
prohibiting flights from departing or arriving, police said.
=C3=A2=82=AC?He essentially shut the airport down for almost 45
minutes,=C3=A2=82=AC=C2=9D Clanton said. =C3=A2=82=AC?His actions
created a danger for all of our officers, himself and others who
lawfully use the airport.=C3=A2=82=AC=C2=9D
