HIT THE PROP
HIT THE PROP
A prop strike is a prop strike, the protocol is the same no matter what actually happened - it's usually a gearbox teardown and the prop has to go out to a prop shop to be re-certified.

@CliffSecord If you were trying to cause massive trouble for a parked plane with hand equipment only, what's the strategy? Grab each prop with a pair of pliers and bend one of the tips?

Make a couple chops in whichever blades you can reach. Best case they spin up and destroy themselves. Worst case the pilot catches it on a walk down and the plane is still down for an inspection and refit. They probably don't have extra C-130 prop blades just lying around.
