once or twice a year you will not be disappointed. Every three or four
years you'll probably see someone doing turns around a tiedown because
they forgot to untie a wing! Turns around a tie down is NOT a student
maneuver, nor is taxi over a chock block.


Taxiing out for departure at Molokai. The tower calls me up and says
that it appears I have a "seat belt or something" hanging from the
passenger door.

I stopped where I was, shut down and got out to look. It was ? of the
chock set that the wife had somehow kicked out the door while getting in
and didn't notice.

Glad that tower was keeping an eye on things. That could done some
pretty bad body panel damage.

You'd have noticed, I'd say, shortly after T/O. A lot of loud banging
no doubt. Prolly declare a mayday, make a short circuit. Drop the wife
off upon landing, maybe the marriage too.
