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

Emphasis mine.The airplane was powered by a Lycoming GO-480-G1D6 six-cylinder, air-cooled, geared-drive, carburetor-equipped engine rated at 280 horsepower, which was not original to the airplane.
A review of FAA airworthiness records and partial airplane maintenance records revealed no information regarding the installation of the engine. A search of the FAA Supplemental Type Certificate database found no STC's related to the Navion B aircraft model applicable to the accident airplane.
Link to report, plz?Couple things.
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:
Emphasis mine.

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".
Biden administration moving toward blocking JetBlue-Spirit merger
The Justice Department could sue to oppose the airline deal as soon as March, people familiar with the case say.www.politico.com
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.Why wouldn't you want another merger where you could combine the worst aspects of two companies like the American/US Air merger?
Let me know where that thing is hangar-ed and I can provide some more authentic holes and smoke
Sounds like a business surplus.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.www.forbes.com
I can't wait to see that 67-92% pay raise the pilot group got this year applied to the maintenance department!

On his return he tried to get recompense from Wizz Air, but he said it took almost two months for the cost of his original flights to be returned along with other legal compensation.
But, he said Wizz Air repeatedly ignored his claim for "consequential losses" - the £4,500 extra he had spent.
He took his case to the county court but said Wizz Air "ignored" the judgement made against the company, so bailiffs were sent in to the Wizz Air desk at Luton Airport.
"Their option was to hand over the money or the bailiffs would take it in goods - it might have been chairs, tables, computers or an aircraft," said Mr Quirk.
Ask him when they are having a sale.That airplane is made here in Yakima. My buddy is one of their test pilots. Pretty cool stuff.
They're expensive toys, no doubt.Ask him when they are having a sale.
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.They're expensive toys, no doubt.
These things belong in AK that is for sure! Are they pontooning them for water craft?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.

Yes.Help me out here...who fucked up the most, the pilot going too fast, or ATC?
50kts over pattern speed is a pretty big deal, as is overshooting parallel runways.Help me out here...who fucked up the most, the pilot going too fast, or ATC?
That's goddamn amazing that airplane was still in one piece!
