I can recall bailing out of a C-172... twice.... at a grass strip because
a wasp
flew out of the wing root air vent. Fortunately it was very early in the
take
off run so I just pulled the mixture, stopped it, and ran like hell. When
I
thought he was gone, I tried again. The same thing happened.

I hate those little beggars.... almost as bad as I hate mosquitos, which
is my
current plague.

chuckle I had to learn (when I first started in construction) that
falling off a ladder to get away from wasps, is a good, sure way to get hurt
way worse than a sting. It is a hard lesson to remember, when one (or
several) is buzzing around, after your blood! Also a good thing to remember
while in an airplane! g

Remember the distinction that the bees were on the *outside* of the
airplane.
