Calling @Chris142 for an opinion.

Do an extremely thorough inspection of the exterior and interior for flaws. Make sure that every switch operates and every function works. Check air pressure and oil level. If it has any grease fittings give them a few pumps sometime soon after you get it to make sure they have a decent...

This presentation by NASA helps you understand what happened without the media hype. A flash flood at night that exceeded 500 year flood parameters needed the advanced warning of a meteorological prediction system. Take 5 minutes and read it. @Donald , good thinking but this was an...

No jumps for me but saw something a bit terrifying involving jumpers. At a July 4 small town celebration 3 or 4 people jumped out of a perfectly good aircraft and were supposed to land in a ball field. One of the chutes didn't open, did that streamer thing. People thought it was part of the...

So performance mods not okay, they have to save money somehow? Nothing wrong with improving driving enjoyment.

Check out wristwatch revival on YouTube to get a feel for it, lots of videos and easy to listen to. He also sells watchmaker tool sets to get started. I'm interested in watchmaking as well but being brutally honest not sure my hands are steady enough for it now. Large parts are tiny and small...

Apparently if they don't spin they're called floaters. You got tiny ones. :ROFLMAO:

This should be interesting..... I think in general it's called high density residential housing, the alley with the garages in the back is OLD style. There's at least one development like that here and it's tight in that alley. I'll bet they don't allow parking on the street. And notice the...

Then aim them at crazy neighbor.

Does it have to be an airplane? How about a train?

Lotta love for a 26 YO minivan. ;)

Service the parts at the same intervals you would normally service your ICE vehicles. Fluid is fluid, calipers are calipers etc. Waiting til the AC gets stinky sounds like bad advice. Are you normally proactive or reactive?

Let's hope it gets rebuilt but who knows in the current state of things. The burn scar is another thing, it's going to be decades healing. The shame is instead of putting the July 4 lightning caused fire out it was decided to let it go to a controlled burn... in the hottest and so far dry...

@GON your next career as an Uber Black driver is calling. Think of the tips!

I was going to ask if the control system could be hacked to have this happen remotely or internally. The 10 seconds between switches CUTOFF and ON is curious. Not 9 or 11 seconds but exactly 10 seconds apparently.

@Astro14 , thanks for putting up with a bunch of civilians with opinions. It's a rare privilege to have a professional share first hand knowledge related to an event like this.

That was the idea and it led to delayed corrections but it may not have been the flight you mention.

I'm smart enough to know I have nothing of value to add to a discussion about commercial aviation but I'm deeply troubled by the idea that 260 people died because 2 switches in the cockpit were moved to the off position, whether accidentally or intentionally, and for whatever reason it wasn't...

That would be a big hit here. I saw a lifted Crown Vic not long ago.

They don't want the job but if the customer approves JACKPOT!
