Flying club plane wash: Cessna draws blood.

I managed to make it completely through all my flight training in a Cessna 172 without committing the newbiest of newbie mistakes. Then out of the blue at the last club airplane wash I finally did it. I walked into the back of the wing!
Yes it hurt, and yes I shed some blood. Unlucky for me, my head was tilted down as I swung the leaf blower back and forth to clean out the dust from the hangar and blammo!. Lucky for me, my head was tilted down and so the injury was higher up on my head (that distinctive scar will be hidden from view until I lose alot more hair).

I am officially in the club of "those who have done it" now.

Ouch! I got my "stars" on the front side-- right over my eye. I ended up with a black eye for a week. That was fun to explain at work.
