Getting them off. Mike says he did them on his Pitts once. They ricocheted when they were cut. Thankfully, these were positively boring when they were cut.

Getting them on. There's a special tool you use to get the other end on the landing strut.

That is cool! Nice set, QuietOne.

Brings back memories from when I used to do this, and sometimes they could try and get you.

I thought you might have done something like this, Greg. How many times did you get "bit"?

And thanks, JAS. Stuff like this is fun to photograph, just because it's unexpected. I mean, bungee cords on an airplane???
