That is one of those ever occuring "oops" moments in aviation...
Is it me or is that a pretty dumb move?
No it was an extremely dumb move.
what did he hit??
A hanger kwatch it to the end and you will see the damage the blades did.
they really should have checked for clearance before they started up the engine and took off.
Bad pilot. Very reckless of him to pull towards the hanger and not out towards the field then up.
Lucky no one was hurt, pilot should have check his clearance.
