Saw a crack in a spar cap on a Cessna 172 at Oshkosh last year that changed how I do walkarounds now
It was just a tiny hairline thing near the wing root that a guy in a blue shirt pointed out with a flashlight and now I carry a magnifying glass in my bag for every preflight, anyone else picked up a weird habit from a random encounter?

Betting a magnifying glass beats finding out the hard way.

Wait, hold up. Did you just say betting a magnifying glass? That's wild! You're actually putting money on a piece of glass with a handle? I mean, I get being curious about it, but that seems like throwing cash away. What's the wager, like who can burn a hole in a leaf first? I would have just grabbed a flashlight and called it a day, not placed a bet. Honestly, that sounds like a story I'd hear from a friend who had too much coffee. No judgment, but I'm side-eyeing this whole situation pretty hard.
