One of the most bizarre details of the Sanfords’ divorce settlement leaked in 2013 was that “the parties agree that … no airplanes will be flown at children.” What, everyone wondered, could that possibly mean?

This is a game of chicken on the Coosaw air strip. And it is Mark Sanford with a pack of children. And the plane is a Mooney. They fly 175 to 200 miles per hour and they fly straight at the children. And the game is to see who can stand up the longest.
It turns out, the plane flown at children was no toy plane. It was an actual plane, owned and operated by John, another member of the Sanford clan, whom Mark described as the “crazy cousin with an airplane.”
