any suggestions on how to fix the part of the propeller on the far right?
There was another plane there that cut into it.
Everything I have tried does't seem to work.
TIA

Cut and rotate in part of one of the other blade tips. I would think the one above it would do nicely from just after the midpoint (where the real blur starts on out). Closely crop around the section of the blade. Paste it in a new layer. Move it close to wher you want it. Use Edit-transform-rotate to get it rotated properly. Slide it in place. Blow it way up and clone a little around the blade connection and it should look good. I love Photoshop CS4.

This took about 30 seconds and it was just a gross cut and paste. Looks pretty good for a gross pass at it. That, coming from a former naval aviator. :-)

shouldn't be too tough.

-Use lasso tool to draw circle around the end of the blade above the one you want to fix.
making sure you cross the blade where you should cut it off to add it to the one to be
corrected.
-You may or may not need to feather your selection (select/modify/feather) 2-3pixels
depending how it looks to you.
-Command/Ctl "J" to put selection on separate layer and then you can drag to desired
location.
-Comm/Ctl "T" for free transform and you can turn the blade to line it up with the short
blade.
-select/deselect if you you are satisfied with the results and then you can make any
necessary touch ups from there.

Try this and if you are not satisfied with the results there are other methods that are more difficult.
