That's the same thing I thought.....would love to see the end result of forgetting to do a proper tie down procedure.

Ok, for you ex-Navy types.......remember hauling those tie-down chains across the flight deck?

Whoa....my back hurts, just thinking of doing that nowadays...:)

A little cut polish, some elbow grease; and that'll buff right out...

Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

That happened to a Martin Mars (The Caroline) at Pat Bay back in '62......

It probably looked like most of Panther's landings. :icon_lol:

Phone rings; 'Hello, are you the owner of this plane? Just landed in our backyard. You might want to come pick it up. Where are you? 300 miles away???!@# ACK!'

So let me get this straight: i'm at an airport, with my camera locked - keyword - onto a plane sitting untethered in high wind. That's the first oddity - why am i only fixated with that aircraft, instead of scanning the entire field of view like a typical home video shooter would naturally do in such a situation? Secondly, i've got the time to maintain that camera lock, presumably in anticipation of watching the effects of a strong gust on that particular aircraft. But intstead of doing something to prevent a disaster if conditions worsen, i prefer to just continue recording that sole plane until something "epic" occurs that i can upload to youtube...:mixedsmi:

A deliberate waste of a good airplane or a cleverly doctored video for grins?

Or maybe footage from a security camera perhaps.

Perhaps leaked by irresponsible security staff for obvious reasons...:mixedsmi:
