Linda,
Just a thought, KR aircraft are so small and light that prop wash on
the ground can damage one very easy. This happened to Ken Rand at Chino
Airport back in 1977. All small very light aircraft should be parked if
possible in a place where this is least likely to happen. In other words,
away from the larger aircraft.
