On the way from KOKK (Kokomo, IN) to KAFJ (Washington, PA) today.. Cruising along above the cloud deck, snapped a cell phone photo out the pilot side window. Thought I'd share the prop blades with you.. Wife loved the photo.

Better shut down your prop heat!

You need to increase the prop RPM, the cetrifugal force should straighten the bades out.

This was just a test to see if we noticed the icing.

Obviously some minutes after the encounter but clearly there.

King Airs also suffer from this phenomenon.

Wait...what's that thing blocking your view? Oh, now I get it. They put the motor in the wrong place is all.

Loves me some Aerostars, lol.
