We were asked to spin the propeler not because they wanted to start it, but because when the airplane was parked the motor was filled with oil and you have to pump out the oil from engine prior to starting it.
The airplane was soviet made doubledecker with radial engine powered propeler Antonov AN2 |
yeah, i would have asked for a parachute before that flight too.
