I really hate to admit this to the group, but I actually departed a dew
covered grass strip with the parking brake on. I have a 180 hp C-172
with C/S prop. I didn't even notice it until I landed at my destination
and tires started squeeling. Boy, did I slap that parking break off in a
hurry. changed tires at annual.

I didn't hear a thing.... :-)
