Ironingly, I rotated my tires today. After removing the lug nuts, the Al/Mg rims were nicely bonded to the Fe hubs. Much sledgehammer whacking was involved, and I went the extra kilocorgi to thoroughly wire brush the corrosion and apply anti-seize compound. Now, my paranoid side worries that I cont...

Sheesh.

Doh! That's the one I meant to link. Seems like maybe we should be focusing less on the shape of wheels and more on how they're attached to aircraft.

Call me a softie, but I must say it's nice to see an example of people supporting each other and working together to create a good outcome from a bad situation - contrary to all the divisiveness and negativity one usually experiences in the media.

That is an excellent example of the horrible things that can happen when you drive 31 in a 30 zone. :roll: :lol: Sorry, I'm a tad cynical about "strict enforcement" of speed limits based on the "speed kills" mantra. Yes I'll acknowledge that did_died is a strong possibility if yo...

I have few memories of Electras after the 1960s.

So you're saying traveling on those was "Electra-flying"?

Yeah I saw a lively discussion of that on another forum... there was a lot of "Dummy didn't tighten the lug nuts" until someone pointed out that at one point you can see a brake rotor still attached to the wheel. So, hub failure maybe? Many (many) years ago a friend bought a Dodge Neon ACR...

Side note: with an airspeed velocity of 0 (sometimes), this thing would confuse the heck out of King Arthur!

Related: do we need a space-travel forum here? I vote "yes"...

1 Brian = 140 kilograms.

Does that include or not_include carryon luggage?

Oh and for weight: donkeys.

I propose a different unit for bank angle: https://youtube.com/shorts/P2P10VgCsgQ?feature=share

Corgi head tilts, or "CHT". May be a little confusing to owners of piston-powered aeroplanies with advanced engine instrumentation, but they'll get over it.

And the one for aeroplanie drivers: "How to avoid the ground"

New title to be released soon from John Trimmer: "How to avoid tipping over huge ships"

So they're blaming the wind for this? Uh-huh...

Because the "incident" did not meet the criteria to trigger an NTSB investigation? That's my guess.

A little scary if you ask me...

Sounds like you need one of these: https://www.kleinbottle.com/
