๐Ÿ›ฉ๏ธ We had some paint cracks near the flange. They said it's not such big of a deal. Now we got another crack on the other side... ๐Ÿ˜ณ We don't like it. So we detached the prop and will bring it in... for a cheap check and repair, I hope, not for an expensive overhaul. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ #avgeek #aviation #PPL #taildragger #Spornrad #Sperling #Hoffmann #Propeller

My contribution to #SilentSunday is this collection of #aviation #taildragger images from a past trip to Sullivan Lake, Washington with the RAF. Very well attended, lots of Aviat Huskys, a Bearhawk, and one cherry vintage Aeronca.

I flew up with my friend Turbo Harry in his immaculate #Cessna T210. And yes, I forgot to pack my tent, so I slept with one eye open under a picnic table in Bear Country, USA.
