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.

Emphasis mine.

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.

Air Swearingen? No Thanks.
A man if your education will appreciate the "hydraulic hammer" theory of that incident, if you're not already aware.
