I recently had the honor and privilege of flying with the inimitable Capt. John Shearer in his Piper Aztec for a trip to Ocracoke Island off the coast of North Carolina. I called shotgun and it turned into a training flight. First time at the controls for me and I loved it, it was both technical, physical, important to do right, and tons of fun.  I want to write more about that experience in another post, but had to share this pic of the prop on the right engine.  With the iPhone’s shutter speed, I caught the prop in a sort of stop-action shot, but at you can see, this two-bladed prop looks as though it has six or eight curved whisker-like props.  Very cool.  Everything about the experience of this airplane was cool, stay tuned.
