After years of going to Benihanas around the country and trying to barter or buy a Benihana belt buckle off the chef, tonight- victory.

Love the q-tip prop!

Oh, wait...

Hmm. I've never really heard of a prop-strike on a turbine engine before. Sucks just as hard though as a piston engine I would guess.

I think it is made this way!

Possible I guess. I would expect it to look more like this. I also see some damage on the tip of the one uncovered blade.

Would be some extreme Q-tipping if it is supposed to be like that. Haha.

Now that I notice the damage, I think you are right. Kind of strange because the bottom of the airplane looks fine.

Something else I noticed is what appears to be saran wrap between the fuselage and the wings.

I didn't even see the saran-wrap. Maybe something that they put on to prevent the crane that plucked it off the runway from damaging it?

There looks to be some sort of paint damage behind the saran wrap on both sides-you can see down to the primer coating. Maybe its there to protect the primer coating somehow?

It isn't readily apparent in that picture, but the bottom is thrashed.

Nothing cool happening lately, so here's a few Oshkosh ones I just discovered:

Did you white-out the sky behind the Pitts, or is that real sun glare?

Shot into the sun, not properly exposed I guess.

On the contrary, the subject is clearly properly exposed, and I like the effect of the white-out. I'm surprised and glad it's natural!

Well I mean there's a good amount of photoshop, here is the straight from the camera (resized) original.
