Taxi safety
I went flying this morning and came upon something that should be talked about. I taxi'd out took off, had a great flight. I landed and was taxi'n back to the hangar. I was on a tight taxiway and had the sun in my eyes so I put my hat on real quick. Than I approached my right turn, I was going slow, about 5mph or less. I did what I always do for such a right turn and hit the left brake and swung left real quick and looked right, there right in front of me was a Husky, not even 30ft away. Oh my, I thought as I hit the brakes. I sat there for a few seconds, with both of use looking at each other. Like, now what do we do. I hit left rudder and brake and swung around on a 180. Went back and hit another turn off. Man, I sure glad I have it writen in my book to always turn left to check for passage before taxi'n to the right.
I have a tail wheel. So everything to the center and right is blocked by panel.
