Re: Characteristic airplane injuries

After not flying Cessnas for a while (sticking to low-wing Pipers), I forgot
last weekend that when you get out of a 172, step OVER the wheel fairing
when turning to walk off - tripped over the wheel and dislocated my knee
(makes a frightful POP noise!)   :-(

Painful to fly 3 hrs home after doing that!
