They're primitive Lightsabers. I'm praying to God someone doesn't drop one only to have it burn through the planet.

That function is usually carried out by the line service engineer or aircraft "handler"

It is bit embarrassing when you get that done for you and you are in Cessna 152.
Even weirder when they chock your airplane, and give you lift back to FSO in golf buggy.
Then you raid the pilots lounge for free coffee and donuts.
Ah to fly in the states...

I am not allowed discuss …
