  3. A little off the subject, but a plane story. Major Fenn USAF pasted away on 8 Sept. Here's an article of his "interesting" career:

  4. "Clean and polished" is not the point. Any time you touch a prop, as a pilot doing a preflight or a crew chief doing his or her job, you are looking for tiny nicks, which are stress risers. They need to be filed out.

    1. Hi CW!!,
      'Hard to tell where this is goin' on??? Military?? RENO?? another story... Props are the front line behind the pistons an etc.... Spit and polished equals more performance and speed!! I recall at RENO some years ago.. my friend "Jagger" said that "DAGO RED" spent $75,000 to get their pro[p tuned up!! GO FIGURE!!!
