Directionally Challenged Maule With Delusions Of Grandeur

I watched this Maule pull out of the hangars on the west side of Boeing Field.  It was given taxi instructions by the tower which involved a right turn to taxi south on Bravo.  For some reason, they turned left and taxied north.  It didn’t take long before a gentle reminder was provided and they did a quick 180 and taxied to the correct end of the runway for departure.  As they climbed out, I could see their markings next to the cockpit.  They had some mission marks that suggested they may have fought for the Rebel Alliance against the Empire.  The Maule is a nice little plane but it is hardly the Millennium Falcon!
