Couple things.whoa that's what those are called!
There's a wrecked one in the woods behind my house (mid 80s crash I'm told), and about 5 years ago I watched one crash right in front of me leaving the little municipal airport in truckee. I know that fuselage
edit: actually the one I saw was a LYCOMING. Similar styling to my untrained self
Loss of Engine Power (Partial): Ryan Navion B, N5329K; fatal accident occurred July 17, 2018 near Truckee-Tahoe Airport (KTRK), Nevada County, California

1. The ENGINE was manufactured by Lycoming. Generally speaking, general aviation aircraft builders use 1 of 2 engine manufacturers. Lycoming or Continental. There are some exceptions of course, but they tend to be rare.
2. As far as the FAA is concerned, that Lycoming engine had no business being in the incident aircraft. Per that report:

Why wouldn't you want another merger where you could combine the worst aspects of two companies like the American/US Air merger?More like, "shit that DOESN'T happen with airlines".

I'll admit that my first thought was the merger was going to be denied because no one should fly on an airline that shitty.
Let me know where that thing is hangar-ed and I can provide some more authentic holes and smoke
Mildly concerning thing to see for the passengers I guess.....

The Pilot Shortage May Be Easing Slightly, But Aviation Now Needs Mechanics
Aviation in North America has been challenged by a short supply of pilots that caused delays and cancellations over the last year. While that imbalance may be improving, a new shortfall is developing in the number of aircraft mechanics.

A guy I fly with for currency builds hotrod cubs up here. Like Carbon Cub, but a little more custom, also big on repairs and mods. He's got a shop where there's usually 4-6 being built at any one time.

Air Swearingen? No Thanks.
A man if your education will appreciate the "hydraulic hammer" theory of that incident, if you're not already aware.
Manufacturer, not operator. The airline I work for made a lot of money operating that aircraft type in it's early days.
Help me out here...who fucked up the most, the pilot going too fast, or ATC?View attachment 191907

That's goddamn amazing that airplane was still in one piece!
50kts over pattern speed is a pretty big deal, as is overshooting parallel runways.
