We all have done it, we all see it done,... but do we really need to turn our 150++ Hp fans into other parked airplanes?
At our local EAA montly bkfst, here comes the 200HP RV, nice person, good guy, fellow RV'r... get's a bit stuck in the grass as he makes his flank turn and proceeds to blow the you know what out of the guys beside and behind him.
I have seen even worse examples recently on a dusty, rock strewn ramp.
I like to think we RVr's have better SA, are more responsible, and simply better pilots than the bulk of the GA spam can drivers that seem to have been trained this way.
RV's are light, easy to move, and even on grass you can usually get a man or two to help you push it back if you need to.
Who knows, if we all practice responsible parking of our machines maybe some of the others will follow our lead.
Ok, done with my peeve.
