> Makes me wonder why they don’t paint the prop tips day-glow orange or something similar, it really can be difficult to see something spinning that fast. Really sucks for her, especially being a model.

They do, it’s mandated by FAA that at least 5" of the tip on both faces be covered in a highly contrasting color, typically red, white, yellow, or orange. White is actually the easiest to see, especially at night. Still doesn’t mean you always see it.
