Clean-The-Planes Day

This morning was the twice-yearly aircraft Wash-n-Wax.

The weather was absolutely perfect for it.

Scrubbed the planes down, took them to the wash stand and covered them in soap.

Then we brought them back to the hangar, dried them off and waxed them, and  buffed them to a shine.
 



Probably picked up a few knots in speed and dropped a few pounds worth of grime each.

Given the nice weather, both planes were reserved and took off shortly after being cleaned.

Great turnout of club members, so we were done by 11 a.m.

Nicely done, and team efforts almost always turn out better!

It's good to have a team. Washing and waxing an airplane by one's self makes for a long day.

Old NFO: Thanks and yes with a team it gets it done fast.

Comrade Misfit: That's for sure, on times with light turnouts it takes a lot longer, this time we were done in 2 hours flat.
