Like him or loathe him, you have to laugh at this story. What a treat for the cabbie!

The German press is collectively wetting themselves with this story.
As for the cabbie, a one in a million fare, plus an inflated resale value of a very high mileage Vito :D

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

While I believe his publicist has confirmed the story, I must ask.
Why was he using a taxi? He has a fleet of cars and trucks.
He has his own helicopter, and his private jet. Just why was he using a scheduled flight.
Lucky cabbie though, ;D
