Tied Down
I think that if this guy was a "cowboy pilot" type, he wouldn't have lived to own his Bo for 20 years. He would have crashed long ago.
Maybe he has some new "friends" being a bad influence?
Point taken though. Something's wrong with the story, unless it was just a moment of sheer panic.
Maybe 20 years ago, pre-TFRs and airspace paranoia, he wouldn't have yanked so hard, and asked for forgiveness. Sigh.
