Heck, I could've use that at 39... it's very embarrassing to have your neighbor tell you about the tail tie-down rope after you've started the engine....

Chocks which were practically invisible under the wheel pants placed by the FBO attendant.

True story. Guy just had a blank stare and kept taxiing.

You'd have thought the pilot would wonder why is it taking so much power to taxi?  Left a nice big mark on the ramp!

You don't need a check list to see a tow bar; just walk around the plane with you head where it belongs! | | |
