⚠️
a few years ago a student at my flight school didn’t turn the ignition fully off on his plane and pushed it back into its parking spot after a flight. at first without issue, but unfortunately, the next morning when he came back to take it up, he started his pre flight routine while one of the mags was still hot and when he slightly pushed the propeller he turned it ON.
so as it goes, tragically, his head got swiped clean off… 🩸he was found by a nearby mechanic face down bleeding out that morning on the pavement.
so all to say, a very minor thing you forget to do in a dangerous job can easily become fatal and disastrous, so this is just a reminder/recommendation to double check every box when lives are potentially on the line.

First of all the key is to not get hit. That way nothing bad actually happens to you, it just almost does. Works best if it‘s not your fault— good reason to get pissed off, great story to tell when you get home, etc. You’ll find this has actually happened to a lot of people

Been off this app lately cuz ive been busy opening an art gallery in my hometown (San Diego) called Deixis Gallery! Been such a wonderful experience so far. It’s so beautiful to see how community comes together to help with every step along the way. Friends came by and helped paint, do construction, a friend of mine built us some benches from scratch, and a bunch of amazing artists participated in the inaugural exhibition. So hyped, truly recommend. And shout out to allstnyc for the encouragement back when I first posted an ask about opening a gallery! 🤞🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿also if you find yourself in San Diego, make sure to stop by! @deixisgallery
