The Red String prevents the prop from turning in the wind. You should
see the climb rate on the Transall WOW. Yes it is from France

Yes the french markings are visible on the tail.

Now what's an old french military transport plane doing at LAX?

Oh, yes, I remember now, Arnold Schwarzenegger has asked for
political asylum in France.

Let's start a rumor. :-)

So that plane is just there to pick him up.

Or maybe it's there to carry Noriega to France after his extradition
from the US.

Also what's that that piece of red string atached to the propellers?
Is this a normal procedure?
