You swoop in to a hot camp to deliver much needed medical supplies to the local physician and her collegues. It's over 100degrees outside so you decide to take about an hour break.
Upon returning to your plane, you find that the only shade in the region has become quite popular and crowded...........
You must decide-------"How many steps to the cabin door and how fast can I get it open?"
Feeling lucky today?

You said "much needed medical supplies," You trying to be funny or something? Most important thing on board an aircraft (other than fuel of course) is the first aide kit. With lots and LOTS of gauze.
Here's another from Africa. Shows the importance of a pre-flight. Nice little suprise in the engine compartment.

Note to self:
"From now on; carry nice supply of Roman candles and firecrackers in backpack. Just in case I need to scare a pride of lions away from my plane."
Thats a Shrike Aero Commander; isn't it? I'm going to build one of them some day. There's a guy on the West coast that makes a fiberglass kit thats 25% scale. It's something like 140" wingspan. I think it would be nice with a couple of 50cc gassers in the nacelles.

Is a cobra under your cowl any thing like a tiger in your tank?

This is just the latest in anti theft devices, you just keep a pride of lions in the tail of the plane, whenever you are in a rough neighbourhood simply let them out. The best part is that they are a low maintenance item -self cleaning, self feeding self reproducing.
