    Continental GO-300 Engine Cylinder #2 not starting

    Does this happen frequently or is this a one time event?

    Delta knocks tail off other plane on ground

    We replaced the horizontal and vertical following a Ground handling mishap in CLT years ago took a month with lots of support from BBD crews. I later put the vertical in the van and hauled it to our hanaher for the new guys to practice sheetmetal work on.

    2 Delta workers killed at ATL after tire explosion 8/27/24

    Well he said “on the line or in stores”. There are no tire cages at our line station. Our tires are shipped at full pressure. In a former life at a different airline tires were shipped at 40% pressure if I recall correctly. The CRJ AMM has a line to the effect that if a main tire has ever...

    This is about the most pointless NOTAM I've seen

    One of my job duties years ago was maintaining a bunch of outdoor lights. I bet 50% of the time it wasn't just the bulb...

    Yep, throw as much money as possible at it before you get started on finding the root issue.

    Improper Sale of an Airplane?

    When I purchased a Cessna that had been rotting on the ramp for 20 years, the airport/city did not seem to know how to handle the past due fees. I kept getting answers like maybe we will do this or that. Eventually I quit asking when I heard the most favorable maybe and just hauled it home. I...

    Boeing cargo plane makes emergency 'belly' landing

    This is correct according to the training I received on our fleets inertial reels. We did go over an injury caused by a reel that was too long for the distance, or too close to the ground as you suggest, but I can no longer recall the exact details.

    Transporting an o-300 FWF

    I understand you’re getting the mount with the engine. Standing the whole thing up on its back and bolting it to a piece of three-quarter ply on a pallet seems like a pretty fool proof way to do this. I’m guessing that would still probably fit under your truck cap? I transported other engines...

    Empty cargo planes roam the skies

    We used to do it with DC8s, fly big orbits in a region in case of a grounded flight. Now spares are kept at the ready, and can launch really fast. But mostly other flights get diverted to collect the volume. Despite what many consumers might think, making the mission on overnight packages is...

    1960's Piper 180.. Scrap Price or Part out?

    I’m not sure that makes sense from the sellers perspective though. He has an airplane he acquired, the airplane is of unknown quality to the seller. He needs to find out what he has on his hands in order to sell it at an appropriate price. He doesn’t have to get any squawks addressed in that...
