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.

By Megan Matteucci

Friday, November 13, 2009
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
