Always point the aircraft at a building, hangar or other aircraft and never at open space when handpropping or doing a full power runup. :lol_hitting:

A Christmas Story
Three pilots died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.
Saint Peter said, 'In honor of this holy season, you must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.'
The Army helicopter pilot thumbed through his pockets and pulled out a lighter.  He flicked it on. 'It's a candle,’ he said.  Saint Peter said 'It did make light; you may pass through the pearly gates'.
The Air Force pilot reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys.  He shook them and said, 'They're bells.'  Saint Peter said, 'They had a ring to them; you may pass through the pearly gates.’
The freight dog started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.  St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, 'And just what do those symbolize?'  He replied, 'These are Carols.'

Looks like all that hay decided to bale.
People who confuse etymology and entomology bug me in ways I can’t put into words.

That's quite a wing load on that Cessna. Goes to show that Cessna planes are truly the little workhorses of the aviation industry.

I can't even begin to imagine the amount of drag those hay bales produced.

Imagine the feeling in the yoke when they bombs away?

Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Here is my favorite C-17 video from 2012. An AF C-17 thought they were lined up for Macdill AFB runway and they ended up landing at Peter O. Knight general aviation airport in Tampa FL which has a 3583' runway. It was blamed on pilot fatigue but it landed safely and took off safely.

They got that off the ground pretty quick, unlike this fully laden IL-76 at Canberra.
