Oxygen Bottle TCTO?

Yep, we had a CFI walk into a prop one night because he thought he had gone far enough out of the arc. He gashed up his right arm but survived. Like your 1900 incident, he did not belong in aviation either. (Geez, that was in Chicago too! wonder if they were family?)

I may also be influenced by CV ops. On a flight deck at night, you really can\'t see, hear or feel alot of details. You just gotta watch movements and the yellow shirts.

But it just boils down to:

I think paranoia is good thing on the flight line, and I\'ll take the teasing for being that way.

...there could be another explanation for these prop arc incidents...

...I believe Darwin called it \'natural selection\'...

Like you, I spent my first four years on a boat with F-8\'s and F-4N\'s

You are correct you could not hear or feel much...the vibration alone was known to loosen fillings in your teeth. I worked my way up from plane captain to a final checker on the cats where at least I could breath fresh air. But I was a young lad and only had a couple things on my mind...personal safety or common sense were not one of them.

Again, situational awareness is what is needed when operating around aircraft.

Thats probably why we did not allow commissioned aircrew unescorted on the flight deck.
