It's funny how often someone online tells the owner of a dead battery "Just hook up a battery tender and let it run for a couple of days."

The content creator is a former USAF F-15 pilot that has significant operational experience with responsibility for complicated missions. He plays it pretty much straight up. His videos are narrative in nature, uses official reports as a basis for analysis, and his opinions are valid. It's much...

You're correct, of course. If the mountain he flew into hadn't been there, the crash would have been avoided.

Yeah, because then I could discuss the impact to the border cities by millions of tourists passing through.

From what I can tell, the entire accident chain was in the cockpit's left seat.

I'm quite happy with the manner in which Texas spends my tax dollars. The Federal government, beginning with Congress, not at all.

Apparent engine failure. That pickup absorbed much of the crash energy, the aircraft is mostly intact and on the pavement.

While you can't prove the shop was responsible, you should at least tell the MX supervisor you're disappointed that's the best story he could come up with, using a suitably condescending tone and expression of incredulity.

Already have a few. They were spendy, but after using them in the race shop and transporter for years decided it was worth it. These are at home in the garage.

Can you come over and polish the tops of my Lista cabinets? :biggrin:

Probably designed by former Ford engineers that decided removing the cab of an F-250 was the best way to work on the engine. :biggrin:

To expand a bit further on LGF's answer, remember schematics typically show components in a deenergized state. Note the external power solenoid (EPS) contact is shown normally open, while the avionics contactor (AC) contact is shown normally closed. When external power is applied, the EPS coil...

Great photos of a beautiful aircraft. Thanks for sharing.

Doh!

Not what I've heard. Source?

Nephew texted me a copy of company email...Spirit operations into PAP and CAP suspended until further notice.

I sent my nephew a text asking if he was going to bid on some of those new openings into Port-au-Prince. :biggrin:

I happened to watch that video earlier today. Seeing the size of the passengers and that the plane was a DA-40 in the first couple of minutes was all I needed to determine the cause of the crash. It's always tragic when a foolish pilot kills his innocent passengers. They had no idea. The pilot...
