There is some topic drift. But I think this is a great and important thread that adresses a real problem that has become more of an issue over time. 👍

In response to RV&ator post number 38. Sitting at the hold short lines. A few years ago I was sitting behind a 172 at my home field. The cessna was already sitting at the hold short lines when I left the ramp to taxi out. I did my run up and after waiting a furthur couple minutes I radioed them and ask if they could pull forward to the round out area just across the runway letting them know I was ready to go. It was a student and CFI. The CFI fired back at me to just be patient. Really peeved me off. They had been sitting there by this time maybe 7 minutes so I didn't think my request was unreasonable but all I could do was sit and wait. After another couple of minutes they finally took off. The round about area straight across was perfect for this very kind of thing. I felt his student that day was taught a bad lesson.

Prop blast: Like many, I've witnessed it and I'm sure I've probably done it too. I always pull my RV to an area where it's not going to be an issue.

In any situation, a little courtesy goes a long way.

The really funny part was that the neighbor's best friend from childhood also lives on hour airpark and when I told him what I had done, he said, "Do it AGAIN!" and started laughing.

Nope, it's fine as-is. Sometimes the stupid, selfish or oblivious types need a spotlight shone on them...

Not something to joke about there chief.

My name is not chief, I find that offensive and racist. I suggested doing nothing just stated a fact.
Operating a aircraft in a reckless manner as this 150 owner is apparently doing is also a criminal act. What if he?s blowing fod into someone?s pitot tubes or there?s a airplane with exposed parts because of maintenance in those hangars?
Some people just love playing the internet police.

Don't play dumb, or the victim.

It's not unreasonable to remind folks that intentionally sabotaging an aircraft is a serious felony when they joke about it.

And Chief isn't a name, it's a title.
