We watch as they pile out of the car, swarm over
the Piper Arrow with each of them doing a portion
of the preflight, push the plane out and mount
up. The tallest girl takes the left seat, yells
"clear prop" and they are off.

"Each of them doing a portion of the preflight."

OTOH, at least they did one. There was a guy with a Warrior in Troutdale
who "filled up his tanks when he was done flying" so that when it was time
to go he could just hop in and take off. Don't know whatever happened to
him, but the last time I saw his airplane he'd left the storm window open,
to the apparent joy of a family of swallows.
