Hasn't this been posted several times before?

Still an interesting video.

 

[The G-Man]

Please tell me you laughed pretty hard when you saw the pilot hanging onto the strut while the plane was spinning around.

Sooo the dude in the van thought it looked like the perfect opportunity to add to chaos and do laps around the plane? Spinning prop, errant airplane circling randomly... and oh ya, watch out for the Bus!

Too bad she didn't know how to pull the throttle.

haha, especially since I'm the one that showed it to you.

I know it's awful but I still laughed. Hard. Especially when the hippie van starts doing circles around it.

Yeah, I always thought it was pretty funny.

But it is a good reminder of how careful we have to be when hand propping.

At noon today I walk into the flight school and read the mx write ups.

no-joke: "NABC123, wouldn't start. Didn't know if it was battery or starter so I hand propped it..."

I think the Benny Hill music was made for that video.
