I was recently in Mojave to do some work and noticed that a crew was readying an L1011 for a job. This aircraft has been sitting with wind blowing through the engines which has provided a clanking noise for several months while they have be been windmilling. Seriously, there is NO issue with this, but a pt6 needs its prop tied all the time?

I does get windy at Mojave. Clank clank clank clank clank clank and so on and so on.

BTW I was seriously shaken to see Mikes Roadhouse Diner boarded up.......WTF .......where else can i get coconut cream pie ( which i always thought was a fictional product of the Gilligans Island script writers) in Mojave?
