I considered wind turbines, but since they
don't really propel anything I declined. They
do have a scenic quality to them, even if they
have nothing to do with aviation.

Absolutely - I felt a little guilty tagging them onto the end of one of your
excellent series, but a prop is a prop.


Seeing the blades stacked along the side of the road, waiting to be
attached, they look more like whales - washed up onto the beach.

Not all air-that-you-can-see is smog these days, but there's a picture that
still says a lot.

Damn! Never thought to see so many Mark I Spits all in a row ...
They're pre-war, aren't they?

I suppose every prop can have its day, no matter how humble.

It's a Traumahawk prop.

Good subjects for pictures, sure.

But aviators don't have nothing to do with them...
They grow faster than navigation maps are printed !
Just fly toward this one instead of that other, and you are a few
degrees off course...
Should turn near this one ? Or in two minute near this other ? Why is
there only one spot on the map ?
Etc...

I definitely don't like them
