You’d think avoiding jet engine blasts would be common sense. But apparently, this airport feels the need to explicitly warn travelers that “Jet Blast Can Kill.” Just imagine thrill-seeking passengers seeing it as a challenge: “Ten bucks says I can run through the propeller gusts!”
Perhaps frequent flyers here got so used to the roar of turbines that they started using engine fire as personal fans on hot days. Nothing like a faceful of 500 mph winds to put a breeze in your hair!
But in all seriousness, it’s probably wise to remind folks that propeller planes aren’t toys. There’s always that one daredevil who needs to be told not to use jet propulsion for bottle flipping contests. Consider this sign their friendly reminder that “cool guy plane jumps” may result in combustion. Listen to the warnings, folks – and please keep clear of the pretty plane gusts tempting you with their breeze. You can admire aviation’s power without making your face acquainted with it.
