Narrative:

A privately registered Cessna 310C from Montreal/Mirabel, QC (CYMX) to Burlington, VT (KBTV) taxied for departure on Runway 24. A vehicle notified the flight services station (FSS) that something was hanging off of the aircraft’s left wing. After a check, it turned out that the aircraft was dragging a concrete block anchor that was still attached to the left wing. Security was deployed. The aircraft came to a stop on Taxiway Bravo and airport personnel removed the concrete block. The aircraft cancelled its flight and returned to the fixed base operator (FBO). Taxiway Kilo and part of Bravo were closed for inspection. An Exact Air Inc. Cessna 310R (C-FTNF) was delayed at departure for 7 minutes because Taxiway Kilo was closed (from 1810Z to 1826Z).
