Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been fascinated by aircraft big and small, with two specific aircraft tickling my fancy: the AC-130 (Spooky) and the UH-60P Pave hawk.

This is a single propeller blade from a C-130 military plane. It weighs over 140 pounds (64 kilos) and at slightly over 78 inches (198cm), it’s taller than I am. It’s a massive piece of hardware, and I love it!

I’m putting the finishing touches on an apartment my wife and I just bought in Paris and the blade above (plus another aircraft part, but we’ll get to that one in a different post later on), once it’s mount will be ready, will be installed in our living room. Yes, I have a cool wife, I know 😉

Anyhoo, back to the picture…

A lot of people have these stripped and mirror polished, but I’m keeping mine as is, in it’s “freshly decommissioned” state. Looks a lot cooler that way.
