Sounds like he did a great job!
ReplyDeleteI remember coming back on a CX trip as a student solo and when tying the 172 down, noticed blood and feathers near that loop for the tie down on the strut. I never even knew I had hit it like a front end bug splat on a car or something. In any event, these incidents remind all of we pilots that we are in the bird domain where they have ruled for millions of years. The only reason we are up there with them is because they sparked our desire to fly.
