Re: 757 troubles. the latest news

Slat rot: The picture and their discussion suggests something hit the wing (birds, deicing truck, something.) Micro meteorites ? 6. Tall landing gear so you don't have to MCAS the hell out of it when you put ridiculously oversized, displaced turbofanies 30-60 years down the road when the aeroplanie...

I love how the Fiat Ducato is sold under ten thousand trillion brands and names. Here we(Not_italics) have it as Fiat Ducato, Citroën Jumper and Peugeot Boxer at the same time.

We're doomed, man!

Evan has spoken. I, having perhaps more interest in computeries (the industry that will enslave us all) than aeroplanies (the industry that will did died us all), was reminded of how bad Intel and, particularly, AMD sucked until they returned to the hands of engineers. I assume that, when enough mo...

United B757-200 experiences cheap-composite slat did diedness

While Verbie stubbornly refuses to make a clean-sheet 757 , the old ones are disintegrating (as both Boeings and cheap composites tend to do ). A United Boeing 757-200 (...) was enroute at FL310 (...) when the crew decided to divert (...) after passengers observed slat damage to the right hand wing....

Re: Colloquialisms

A final colloquialism: While they are related and can overlap: Preaching is generally more of delivering a religious message, while Pontificating is more of an arrogant tone of superiority in delivering knowledge. Yes, their etymology is similar, but the AI went with “What preachers do”. (Arguably,...

It’s a boy in a sterile bubble not_riding a bi, tri, quadra, penta, etceteracycle, but instead, reading procedures in old FCOMS and trashing pilots and providing liberal advice to the aviation industry and face-diaper-questioning members of the public. Not_ exactly what I had in mind, probably shou...

Re: Ban all beaches?

If I find myself in a 737MAX, I jump out IMMEDIATELY.
You should wait for the exit door plug to fall out before trying to jump through it. Otherwise you might injure yourself.
