It's really quite simple. The past: small single - [light twin - small turboprop]*usually the phase where good airmanship was developed; - medium turboprop - large turboprop - small jet - big jet...... Today: cessna 172 - medium/large turboprop.......hang on!

If they dont want me to start there, dont park it there or move it before I start.
My statement was kind of a joke, but the same could be said for propwash directed at hangars and or other planes.
It just shows that there is different perspectives of good aimanship. Note that I dont support careless air pushing.
How about the radical idea that Don Curry in Sault Ste Marie passed along about 35 or 40 years ago ....... if the airplane is going to blow air at an open hangar, you take the 60 seconds to go over to the place and say that you can't move the airplane without propwash hitting their open door, give them another bit of time to close the door, then start up and get out of the way with the minimum amount of disruption to local operations, they open the door and get along with life ..... everybody is happy with a minimum amount of disruption.
