This is why I was taught, on preflight, to give the exhaust stack a firm
shake. (Unless the engine was just run, of course.) Reminds me of an (otherwise good) movie we watched at "Movie Night at the Inn" a few months ago. George Peppard stars in "The Blue Max", a story about German World War I aviators. After he lands his plane, he jumps out and is engaged in conversation with another pilot. The scene cuts away, and then back -- and they show Peppard with his hand laying casually on the cylinders/exhaust stack! Everyone in the movie night crowd let out a yelp of disbelief and sympathetic pain. Needless to say, the guy in charge of continuity in *that* movie really dropped the ball... :-) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
