Paint over paint? Odd way to refurbish an aircraft today. Not disputing it just curious. Should be confirmed as source of red.

These fellas below flying an ATP may need more taildragger time.
It’s an interesting read, but the videos to taildragger pilots are damning.

Transmitted from my FlightPhone on fingers...
I wonder if the discomfort of performing maintenance and thorough pre-flights in windy, sub-zero weather has anything to do with these ski accidents.
Potentially an issue. Fly one often enough and routine dulls the senses. Pre-flight gets in the way of flight sometimes especially during crowed schedules, WX, or diminishing daylight. Then there's landing and takeoffs after departure when things can quickly change for the worse, plus exceeding placarded changes to Vne in flight with skis installed. It's a challenge to look and successfully find defects or changes to the rigging. I don't like the gear departing the airplane scenario above. Was it caused over time or just this event?

So a expired medical. What does the FAA say about that?

He got his third class when he was younger than 40 and in October. Of 2015. Isn’t that good for five years? If so March of 2020 is less than 5 years. Disclaimer. I don’t pay attention to these duration things so much, so I’m probably wrong.

Had 35” tires. Look, one is tucked up against the fuselage;-)Needed the 35" tires...
