Thirsty Pilot Drives His Plane To The Pub For A Drink, Police Are Unimpressed

The lengths some people will go to for a pint.

His plane has also been impounded after he was alleged to have taxied it from one end of the mining town to the Newman Hotel Purple Pub on Friday afternoon.

When we arrived we found a Beechcraft two-seater prop-driven plane parked in one of the bays.

There was no-one there. The wings were off the plane.

We made some inquires with some of the people in the pub and witnesses nearby and ended up speaking to a 37-year-old male.

Sergeant Mark Mckenzie also told Daily Mail Australia: "People could say it was funny but one gust of wind or a circumstance where kids run out onto the road and it would have been very dangerous."

According to the Western Australian staff at the hotel dubbed the pilot a "legend" during his dealings with the police.
