If you own an 8 oz bottle of the stuff, it needs to be included in your will. It'll last at least five more generations after you're gone. :biggrin:

Boris Popov, inventor of the ballistic recovery system whose acronym became the de facto descriptor of all such devices, was a hang glider pilot that became a hero to those in the sport that owe their survival to him. Before the BRS, we had a parachute in a throw bag velcroed to the front of...

You know what is said about having a little knowledge.

Did you note that in the memo Boeing said this was a known issue in a 2017 service notice? Like the recent "defects" in United aircraft, the airlines are responsible for maintaining their fleet. This is the United 737 that lost a service panel a couple of days ago. It looks like the underside...

Using a single word definition from the dictionary is a poor substitution for gaining knowledge about the American form of government. And as you can see, my knowledge of English is quite sufficient.

Yeah, I'm really on the edge.

:rolleyes: I'll use common sense and state Boeing has absolutely no connection to or responsibility for a 777-200 that was placed in service in December 2001 losing a tire and wheel assembly.

I would think pilots on an aviation forum might know the difference between a failure by an airframe builder and an incident precipitated by a possibly defective tire or maintenance issue.

I have one of those cans. The plane would crash while trying to get the damned thing to release the fuel. :biggrin:

In my examination of aircraft mishaps over the years, I can recall instances where a planned departure time was missed, and as a result of darkness or enroute deterioration of weather after the expected arrival, it contributed to a fatal outcome. We all have experienced a meeting that ran past...

Those rocks are also useful if the fuel on board is below what's required for the planned flight. Dropping enough of them into the tank will raise the fuel quantity to an acceptable level.

Here's the bill in its submitted form. https://trackbill.com/bill/colorado-house-bill-1235-reduce-aviation-impacts-on-communities/2515536/
