Might be for the insurance company ...

States are their own, or am I mistaken?

Yes, the turboprop looks pretty, Jim.

I find it interesting that all those strictures have to be written on the instrument panel. Each is something that I would have to know about before being qualified on type. I suppose that that is the civilian way of flying . . .

Bonnaroo is over, with only a few of the visiting aircraft left at the local airport. I got a couple of detail shots that I had intended to get earlier.

To an Aeronautical Engineer, the business end of a modern turboprop is a thing of beauty. Maybe not the same for everyone. Here is the propulsion system of a Beech King Air 350. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Propulsion.JPG.html <http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Propulsion.JPG.html >

The 1941 Piper J-5A that was modified for banner towing had amenities never dreamed of when it was built. Not a beauty, but a real working machine. Here is the current instrument panel, complete with every placard that the FAA could dream of. And, yes, the engine is a Lycoming O-360. I checked the data plate. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Tow+Plane+Instrument+Panel.jpg.html <http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Tow+Plane+Instrument+Panel.jpg.html >
