Good lesson why you should tie the airplane when parked

This is what may happen if your plane is parked on ground without being tied, while there are strong wind gusts.
This footage is captured by an airport surveillance camera.

Since there is no text explaining the history of this incident, I can only assume at this point that the pilot and/or owner now realizes the value of tie-down ropes...??

This video's ending is a real "Oh F--k" moment. A very nice airplane with an excellent design - watch it takeoff in a fairly level attitude, even without power!
