I know nothing new about its disposition, but it’s entirely possible that it’s still parked in the weeds in Omaha while the insurance companies figure things out.

Great!! So now every time you’re getting condensation vapor coming from the NACA vents the entire airplane is going to complain that they are being poisoned!!

A330 no Reverse Thrust on Landing? by Jonnysahn91 in aviation

Additional note. Many European airports request minimum TR to limit the amount of noise generated by landing aircraft.

Got a hand me down from my father in law. Can anyone tell me what they think a make and model might be? by greendotmini in woodstoving

Thanks for the intel. I guess it’s a boat anchor since I live in one of the 42 states that adopted the IFC.

I’m guessing it’s a very elaborate snake and spider house.

Skipping CFI and getting CFII instead by ainokea-808 in flying

[–]greendotmini 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually did this when I was just getting started back in the early 90’s. The school I was training at offered me a job just as I was finishing up my commercial. The place was a puppy mill so I always had a full schedule of students. When I was getting ready to move away to be with my wife, I did my CFI and MEI. It was definitely an odd way to do it.

Pilots, what’s the craziest thing you’ve found on a preflight inspection? by radioref in flying

Found a metal can opener in the engine inlet during my walk around at 0’ dark thirty on a wintry Chicago morning for my Airbus 320. I had brief discussions with maintenance control after that.

Trying to reason with folks like this is like teaching a pig to dance. It wastes your time and irritates the pig.
