Anyone who served in the Air Force....

.... will immediately spot the error.

This photo is absolutely incredible... it should be a poster for what not to do.

But can you tell what's wrong with it?

Yep, guess you spotted it, too.


Never, ever try to Prop-Start an aircraft without chocking the wheels!

I am sure that caught your eye right away like it did mine.

Her hair isn't tied up. Once the props turning the hair dryer would suck that hair straight in.

What hair?? Sorry I wasn't looking high enough!

Her hair looks short enough for safety, although not shaved.

Out of interest - is it a DH Beaver?

She's not wearing ear defenders(muffs?)......elf & safety would have a fit.

 

[Talulah]

If she had kept her high heels on she would have been able to reach better.

 

[Firefly625]

is it an ST34?

 

[paultallett]

Personally I think its a bad choice of aircraft.......

If it wasn't a tail dragger, she'd have to adopt a more bent over stance to get a good purchase on the prop.......

Shouldn't she be pulling it round the other way - oo-er missus........

I'm not so sure, muffs can be difficult to see from behind with all that hair.

I was going to say the pilot should have the stick on the back stop (and the tail wheel should be straight) - but it did take me a long time to spot that.

Ahh Shucks... you beat me to it.

Its a Cessna 195 but its hard to really concentrate on the important stuff with such delightful distractions.
