I took this photo last year after arriving at this airport gate. I wanted to remember how secure my aircraft would be, sitting out on the ramp beyond this lock.
Funny photo. I found myself stopped by a key code gate trying to get into a small airport to meet the company helicopter that had just landed. A man on the other side of the gate said he would not open the gate for me. I said, “come on, the key code is probably printed on the airport side of this gate right?”
“Yes it is” he said.
“What is the unicom frequency here” I said. “122.8, right?” as I punched in the numbers opening the gate.
Funny, since I don’t have anything locked up behind the gate. Good grief. Life tethering a bike to a parking meter!

“You are obviously a pilot” he said to me.
“And you sir are obviously a genius” I responded.

Yeah, but it sort of LOOKS safe.
Hasn’t the TSA taught us that that is good enough?! :)
