The Kingair is back at BK now and will be flying again very shortly. Parts supply from the USA was the problem causing the delay I hear. I suspect the Insurance bill will be significant and I would hate to be on the receiving end of the sure to come legal attempt to recover the funds.

It's not the student's fault... It's the king air pilot's fault.. Shouldn't have parked the aircraft on a small apron to begin with considering that there was another king air parked there that day... Also the pilot of the king air was stupid enough to park his aircraft near the Avgas refueling point at hay
Ah right, of course. So where do you propose they park then artistry?
Maybe you should have sought some assistance, or got out and assessed the situation first, .
There is one thing you will learn in this industry. If it's your f*ckup (which clearly it was, the King Air was parked, they're not the one's who ran into you), you admit it, learn from it, move on.

I take it by that logic you are either the student, the king air pilot or are investigating? Since you blame the king air I suspect that's not your plane, and an investigator would hold their tounge. Therefore you're the student who hit a f***ing parked plane, so should shut the hell up.
So where do you fit in then Artistry?
I don't see how the pilot of the King Air is to blame when they were parked.

I heard there is more to this story
The first student taxied in and whacked the hangar ( hangar at fault )
Then the next student came in and whacked the King Air ( King Air at fault )

I better remember Artistry's defence if I ever hit a 4WD with the wife's Corolla in the car park at Woolies.
It will obviously have been the 4WD driver's fault for parking there.
