If you can think of a better idea, post it.

The number one rule was "If you don't know you're clear,

your head out the window, or you have your partner get out and sight for
you. If you don't have a partner, you set the parking brake and take a
walk around...

This isn't something that's limited to
aviation. Anytime you have large equipment moving in a crowded
environment, you will see extra precautions taken. Anytime a forklift
is moving something at the HomeDepot, they'll post two guards to keep
people back.


I've repeated myself, just in case you missed it. 8*)

A flag on the part of the protagonist moves the responsibility from the
antagonist seeing to the protagonist being seen (any time you move your
vehicle, you're the antagonist, the mover, the doer, the responsible
party). If the Avenger's co-pilot couldn't ride or walk a wing to the
run-up area, stick a bug-eye mirror on a stick or out on a wing
(temporarily). The solutions are simple, abundant, and in use all
around us every day.

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
