Default Depression after Washing

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...
