I remember reading the story of a crewman that stepped backwards through the spinning prop of a WW2 bomber.
It was only after he realised what he had done did he faint.
I had the privilege to get access the the Arizona Air National Guard ramp in 98. No safety instructions. I was just told to give priority to aircraft and stay within the lines on the ramp.
Had several helo's taxi next to me while I got some nice pictures. I used common sense and respected the environment. Wouldn't happen now.
Everyone blaming this person but shouldn't aircraft be shut down before embarking, disembarking?
