JetPhoto Pre-Screening Thread...

Rather than "borrow" a photo from Reddit, here's a link: https://www.reddit.com/r/aviation/comme ... 8595620837

I’m guessing the gal on the left is paid more and the gal on the right is a better pilot.

Old aeroplanie? Check. (tho the engine sound is totally wrong)(and not a jet... but also not_piston)
Ice? Check.
Wind? Check.
Video? Yeah, again.

Except for Not_being a jet, it's basically like a 737 Max.... Well, there's A LOT more things totally wrong on the 737 Max

(Wouldn't it be cool if Verbie took inspiration from the Tri-Turbo-Three and made a 737 with the best number of engines?)

I'm beginning to think the best number of engines for a (new) 737 would be zero... that would keep it on the ground and it would have far fewer problems.

OTOH, an aeroplanie with around the same seating capacity as the larger 737 variants, but with, say, 3 engines mounted in the rear...

It's a turbinopropelo.

Fewer problems maybe, but won't keep them from crashing. As Evanie said, they're cursed (he said it about the Max series, but I extend it to the whole 737 family).

This is a good one.

I can almost smell the sheer amount of perfectly tightened bolts

This is a good one.

I smell a lot of pistons (18x4x2) and a lot of 100/130.

Unfortunately, the airplane is slightly too far to the left for ideal composition, and thus is rejected, even though it’s a photograph they cannot appreciate.

Are you sure it's smoke and Not_ink? I fear Squid involvement.

[elaw]

If the squids have been involved since the time that plane was built, that would explain a lot!

Where do you ge a whole crew rated for the Convair 880?

Once again a vid not a photo, but it contains a lot of great photos (some "never before seen" I think) of one of our favorite aeroplanies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ste6vsxnx6U

Thanks for sharing that interesting video.

The photos showing it spinning after the crash are definitely not easily found, but I'm pretty sure I've seen them before.
