naw lummy, that's a prop strike. just TRY to be that accurate in spacing & strightness of lines with a chainsaw cutting through aluminum.

Landing without injury is not necessarily evidence that you didn't fuck up... it just means you got away with it this time

Most definately a prop strike. This photo has been widely published.

To help you think about what that looked like, imagine this plane just sitting there and a DC-3 (I don't actually think it was a DC-3 but just imagine it to make it easier) trying to pass on the right and having the prop continue to slice through the victim aircraft over and over again.

Does anyone know what could have happend to this plane?


Heard this story before. IIRC someon lost control of a aircraft they were hand proping (starting) and it was not chocked, no brakes set or they failes, and it walked itself right you the ass end of the aircraft you see.

sure, as soon as I find someone willing to let me chop up their plane :)

I just remember that we had talked about it before.
