Whilst he got away with a number of parts missing at the inspection, it wasn't long before he got a fine for not wearing his High Vis vest.

After 50 odd traps on a carrier, it wasn't unusual for Navy pilots to not notice things falling off their aircraft.

Aware of the dangers, Hank ensured he kept his hands away from the spinning prop.

I reckon if we change the prop it will get rid of the vibrations and she will be good to go.

Chuck finally realised that the assembly manual for the Ikea PT-937 "Bjork" had a few pages missing.

At LAME school, going to the canteen to collect the class lunches was always one of the most popular jobs.

Having got to the point where the aircraft could be successfully ground run "hands off", Cessna's design team now had to consider the tricky bits.

After his last landing had seemed a little hard, during the taxy back Hank weighed up whether it was worth asking the engineers to give the old crate a bit of a once over, just in case something may have come adrift.
