I've previously mentioned the Saturday morning breakfast rides to the Blue Hangar Cafe on board NorthWest Regional Airport. One morning, Mike Crenshaw and I saw a classic Stearman collide with a pickup truck that had stopped on the taxiway.
Well, since this incident is beginning to make the national news feeds, here's another fine Saturday event for the folks dining not 200 yards from the end of runway 17...
Student pilot in a Cessna 172 returning from his first x-country solo.

Hey! Where did that car come from?
Although the word STOP is painted on the road, lady driving the Volvo SUV failed to do so prior to crossing the runway. In the first photo, that asphalt patch on the right side of the car is a run up pad and not the active runway.
Hey! Where did that airplane come from?
Right main gear knocked off. Nose gear strut folded back. Prop bent into a pretzel which means a complete engine tear down and inspection.
Hey! Why aren't those flaps deployed?
Always a free show with your eggs n' sausage.
