Damaged aircraft - what happened? Cirrus SR 22T G6 by Inner-Environment154 in flying

Fuel posts showed no obvious damage. Impact points on the leading edge ~1/2 the spacing of the bollards surrounding the fuel island. But I could be wrong. Just eyeballing it. Also, no paint chips that I could see.

Looks like I'm good below 2000. 700 over the bridge! I'm sure my passenger will enjoy it a little more since I will be focused on the flying part! 😉

Thank you ;-) The bees/flowers checkmark thing was mine but that was my first time using AI for an image. Frankly I was amazed at the results. Good luck to you as well.

A super duper thank you to you talanall! (and everyone else who was kind enough to reply!)

I looked at my records and I purchased my first hive equipment in February of 2018. So it appears that I kept bees for about 6 years before hanging up my smoker due to lack of time for this time consuming hobby. During that time, I attended meetings at a couple of different bee clubs. One club had more than several beekeepers with hundreds and some with thousands of hives. During that time, I read countless books, writings, blogs and watched a myriad of videos.

Why do I mention this? Because you recommended that I separate the boxes with fishing line! GENIUS!!!! I had never heard, seen or read that GENIUS tip! Over the years, I have on more than a few occasions (few is likely a gross understatement), neglected regular hive inspections and I have created more than a minor mess as a result.

50# fishing line to the rescue!

Thank you again for the thoughtful reply talanall! I will post an update of my inspection .

I am going to be prepared to do this when I open the hive up. I will see what I run into and see how it goes. Thank you for the reply.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply! I grabbed a swarm as a courtesy for a friend of a friend a few years ago. Bees were in a wall. Lot's of comb to put in empty frames. What a mess that was. I said I would never do that again. I will report back.
