Comment from another website I frequent- "I'm going to side with the propeller on this one because i would also hit it."

That's the thing, you really don't ever know.

Also a nice new Husky, so starter works. No need to keep it running, especially at night or dusk and with a passenger exchange.

Cigar, not a pipe, but close, and they're usually on day trips, so no wheely bag
Big dogs are usually fine, it's always the little yippers that like to run out the door after I open it
Interesting. Once upon a time there was a Super Cub on bush wheels that visited a particular ramp I was working on. He refueled, then taxi'd out minus one fuel cap. We called him on the radio and found his fuel cap on the ramp. I was holding it in my hand when he parked with the engine idling and motioned me to climb up on the wheel and secure the cap. Um, no thank you; shut down or do it yourself.
Also once upon a time I was flying around in a 172 with a CFI and a friend, I was in the left front and the friend and I were going to switch. We did it with the engine running, but it was thoroughly briefed before hand. Short version: go in front of the wing and I'll kick your ass.
Lastly, at the end of the night on a certain ramp we'd do plenty of hot turns for Saabs and Metros. Shut down number one, unload the pax and freight, and off they'd go back to the hangar for the night. Worked fine until we'd have more than one plane show up, then the inside aircraft would have to shut down both.
In any case, if I were flying one there's no way in heck that I'd let a passenger get out of a Husky / Super Cub type airplane with the engine running. Too many things to catch on and fall the wrong direction.

Exiting a turning airplane is one of those things that needs to be done carefully by people who are experianced around airplanes. The E-2 is considered the most dangerous airplane on the carrier deck due to the props.
The only way I will let a passenger is if there is another pilot/mech/ramper that I trust to take them by hand in and out of the aircraft perimiter.

I had a Grumman Tiger on the ramp once when I worked line who forgot to pull his nose wheel chock before starting. I saw it and ran out, gave him the "Chocks are in" sign and he nodded, hopped out with the engine running, got down right behind the prop and pulled the chocks out. He waved with a "thank you nod" and got back in. I stood there shocked. couldn't believe that someone just stood inches from their spinning prop to remove a wheel chock.

This guy needs to have his license suspended for a year, I mean this is a no brainer, completely avoidable.

My friend and I were both after the same hot girl. We both held new PPL too. One day I was at the FBO and he showed up to take this girl to lunch in a powerful PA-28 140, I was pretty jealous. After he fired up the engine I reattached the tail tie down and ran into the office and hid.

Heh. Back in the FLX days I broke a plane and wound up flying back down with a subcontractor in another 210. The pilot was an ex Rhino-Driver. Guess they don't see too many storms in the F-4, because he was nervous in the service about the level 3-4s and we landed halfway there. Storms moved through, but it was still raining like you oughta build an Ark. We ran out to the plane, I got the right side, he got the left, and off we went. Imagine our surprise when we landed and found about 3ft of tie down rope still attached to the tail...
The moral of the story is that if you're gonna leave the tail tied down, do it in something with 300hp. Or something like that.

Uh... Just call it an aftermarket static wick, and you're good to go.

Wow. If ever sexism is apparent, it's when a female sliced apart by a fricking airplane propeller is still reduced to a "hot or not" object. Y'all are something pretty special.

From the other photos and articles, it seems to me that she had been around small aircraft before this trip. Maybe BOTH the she and the pilot complacent here.
I watched a PILOT get hit by his own prop (C206) while I was in Windhoek, Namibia just a few months ago. He pulled the prop through during his walk around. With passengers loaded. It fired only one cylinder and it dropped him like a used .... (well, you get it).
Bad scene.....26 yoa, 3 months into a year-long job. Died at the hospital about two hours later.....
