You know, that is a very good point. I will have to pay a more attention to that. Personally, I do not feel comfortable flying unless all placards are readable. This is includes all external stickers. Somebody (cough TSA cough cough) may try to use a pitot tube as a ladder if that "No Step Danger Heated Probe" placard is missing.
