Taking things literally…

By General Aviation News Staff · March 15, 2017 ·

This photo caught my eye when it first appeared in Vermont Aviation, an email newsletter put out by the Aviation Program of the Agency of Transportation for the state of Vermont. They spotted it first on a Reddit thread.

    It doesn’t show any battle scares. Somebody needs to shoot a few bullet holes in it. I suggest a 5.56×45 and a 7.62×39 and then a strictly sporting round such as the .338 Winchester.

    A sign that says , Knock before entering might be a prop priate.

    SOOO! What does “prop wash” clean other than the blades? Can you use it on the wind screen as well?

    So that’s what they mean to prop open a door!

    What a great message! It reminds me of a Piper Malibu that wound up in a ditch three years ago. 🙂 And of an acquaintance’s C172 that took on a nearby hangar a few years before that.
