In my informed opinion...

...all modern Boeing aeroplanies should be BANNED from flying until they're equipped with ballistic parachutes. Or, better still, banned forever.

"A Boeing 747 with windmills instead of engines"

Not_what I expected as it still has two engines, but this was the best result of the four (the other three showed a Boeing 747 and windmills Not_connected to it).

Re: Who cares about DC-9s and 757s and 737-MXs?

What we really need is an airplane to haul windmill blades, and by golly aeroengineers are working on it! Because it’s good for the climate to burn jet fuel to fly blades, one at a time, and they still have to be trucked to and from the runway. Generators are basically electric motors , right? Put ...

Re: MCAS…

Evanie cites a need to reboot the computer occasionally. I guess Boeing didn't expect their aeroplanies to last 22 days , let alone 240. In all fairness, neither did I . But I do expect LATAM shares to experience a huge MCAS-like drop following said airlinie's possible addition to Evanie's list .
