Microlight plane flies off WITHOUT pilot after he got out to start it in ‘weirdest air accident ever’
A MICROLIGHT plane flew off without its pilot after he got out to start it.
The Pegasus Quantum 15’s battery was flat so he climbed out of the cockpit and walked to the engine at the back.
He turned the propeller to successfully fire it up — but the plane then moved forwards without him.
It headed down the runway and, to the stranded pilot’s horror, took off from Athey’s Moor Airfield, Northumberland.
The two-seater aircraft was never seen again after the bizarre incident on October 3.
