Have you seen the way these rampies drive lately? As close as they can get and at a great rate of knots as well…I've seen them skid to a stop only feet away from various parts of the jet! And all I got was a wave and a grin after throwing the LC cold steely stare! (I'm told it used to throw fear into people…
) Any way, walkarounds: I teach that one needs to also have a larger view of the airframe from a few angles to make sure that nothing gets missed, i.e.: damage or missing bits. So I back up and take in the whole view…no hiding under the wing allowed…all the while wearing my lovely vest…
