Anyone else here ever experience one? How did yours happen?
Mine have been ag related and hit ground, rocks, birds, and ?
Ever throw off a piece of the prop blade? I lost a piece during
climbout of a jungle strip in the Amazon in a C-185. Managed to dead
stick it back without any further damage but it took nearly two months
to get a replacement. IN the meantime, I used a field expedient and cut
off an equal amount from the other blade. We were about 200 miles from
civilization on the Rio Curaray.
Ah the fun old days....

First non-solo PPL flight (ie, my very first pax). They've sealed the
area now Started the Traumahawk up and taxied carefully over the
side of the undulation (well I thought it was the side, or "side
enough") - and felt a vibration lasting about half a second. I looked
at my pax, they looked at me - carried on. Got radioed by tower 30 sec
later to return to the operator base. Did so - someone had spotted some
grass flying up while I'd taxied and touched and the op radioed tower.
Checked out by the operator LAME and cleared to go. What a start to my
first passenger flight!!!
