Country: | not only is he standing inces from the propeller but he's doing it without even flinching nor are any of his clothes flapping, the air around the prop from that kinda distance would be doing something to him! i'd say this photo's been photoshopped............

Country:  | You can stand pretty close to props, Lanc, they dont suck you in or anything. I stood under a really fast moving one for years.
