Heck, I do that many times EVERY DAY. Have to prick my fingers to check blood sugar.

Interesting....I was looking at the airplane including scrutinizing the instrument panel, and never even thought about blood there.

Guess I too have seen so much over the years, it doesn't register in the same way as with others.

Ironically... My wife had to have her colon removed many years ago and she needed to build up a reserve of blood for the operation. Each time I donated (and to this day) I typically throw up or pass out when they drain me. I don't know why except to believe I don't have enough oxygen floating around my turkey brain in the first place...

But to see wrecks, accidents, murder scenes and other bad things, I have never had a problem, except to feel great sorrow for the victim.

Well Roy you are right blood is a part of life, but you see Im not trying to get mad at you, but you got to see it if I had a kid beside me and say lets see this wrecked plane and there blood all over the radios . It just when it comes to planes we dont like to think about it, as though its a reality anyone of us can get killed in these birds we just dont like to think about it... Im sorry Roy if I was hard on you, but there some people like myself that are maybe we can call it a bubble and just perfer not to see it. Like myself I ve been a trapper and living in the far north for years so dead animals and blood doesnt bother me that much its just when its in a plane one cant help ask himself "Is this hobby worth it" espically if you have wife and kids??

Sorry and I appologize again. I made a new "warning" post just a minute ago to prevent this from happening again. Didn't realize it was un-nerving.

I've rummaged through many auto wrecking yards (and Air Salvage of Dallas) and if there was something gory to be seen, I've always had tunnel vision simply looking for parts.

I didn't really mind seeing the blood. Seeing it just gives me a bad vibe about that plane. I'd rather just not know that my used parts came from a plane with that kind of end.

But if the price was right. . .well I'd buy the parts anyways.

I'm not so sure that some folks aren't jumping to quick conclusions. Looking over the panels,, it could be blood,, but then again, it could be stain from the red panels. I just don't think someone should get knock over it, otherwise we might as well all live in a protected enviroment,, And this takes us away from the original post,, looking for parts for a 150.

Fact is that aviation is unforgiving... Perhaps we all need to see the blood sometimes and take a minute to reflect on all the times we got away with something stupid, or just plain got lucky... Jared - I absolutely respect your position, and the "Warning" is appropriate for gore... I'm not sure this is in my opinion "gore" and if it is blood I've gotten more blood on my plane while working on it...

I am looking for some wing tips. If you get the bird and are selling the tips let me know.

Thanks

I'll keep you posted. If you should buy a set of used Metco Aire wingtips, I don't know how you would work the STC paperwork, unless you already had a set of Metco's on your Cessna and are replacing them. (My new set came with the STC, keeping the paperwork on my airplane tidy and legal.)

I've located a horizontal stabilizer, but still I might just submit a low bid on the wrecked Cessna to have what spare parts it could yeild... I might take that damaged tail section and splice it into the roof of my barn. A guy did this with the tail end of a Cherokee in Childress, Texas in downtown, on a second floor window... Talk about a conversation piece!

I need a good reason to go visit an Experimenatal buddy of mine who works for NASA in Ohio anyway...
