Re: 757 troubles. the latest news
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 is grossly obsolete and should be no longer flying, let alone being produced. In upcoming aviation news, Boeing shocks industry ...

Re: flat spot on tire, or...?
Flat spot from sitting for a long time? One of my cars does that... I often don't drive it for several days at a time. When I do, there's some vibration for about the first 10 minutes that once gone, stays gone for the remainder of the trip.

Re: Delta returns to Schiphol - maggots falling from overhead!
Coming soon: economy-class tickets for $x, or for about $x + $25 you can get "maggot-free economy" tickets....according to sources to AIRLIVE, maggots started to get out of the suitcase and some fell on passengers seated in the economy class.
