| Today's flight, figured to video how I preflight my plane. Comments
| here or on the video most welcomed. Always nice to hear input to make
| me a safer pilot!

| Very Good. i didn;t watch all of it, but it's thorough and you use the
| checklist.
|
| Two thins I'd add to it if they're not already in there.
|
| One, as you walk around, stand back every so often and look at the
| airframe. You're looking for wrinkles in the skin or anything else that
| might look strange.
| Second, you should grab the wingtip and give the airplane a good shaking (
| after the tiedowns are removed)
| this does two things. Reveals some kinds of damage, like elongated wing
| mounting holes and such, and perhaps more importantly, it will get any
fuel
| that might be hiding in the fuel tank away from the sump out of it's
| depression and into the sump.

You better start sucking up and acting like a contributor, you dumb ass.
Should have watched more of the movie though, it would have been more
convincing. Pretty clear you didn't see much it.
