Hey, Is That Thing Grounded?

And you're worried about a little spark while fueling from a 5 gallon plastic can.

If you want to go up, pull back on the controls. If you want to go down, pull back farther.

I was a 135 Boomer for 7 years before I became a Flight Engineer it was not uncommon to see that. That one was pretty bad. Usually when your refueling that airplane it's for a pretty dang good reason which is probably why they continued with the contact.
