I read this in fucking Greybull, big banner on the side of a railway supply business.
“As regulations increase, freedom DIES”.
With a big bald eagle on it.
Which, I don’t think I need to point out, would all be dead without regulations.
Delicious Irony.

Pilots are now mechanics too!
Tell them about how many regulations there are in Somalia
They just need more Murican guns to help their freedum, like Haiti!

That's kind of awesome.
Pipistrel has you covered there, too
1:41 glide ratio.
Well, honestly it's not the airplane that's a problem. It's finding a place to safely store it.
Gliders are the single speeds of aviation. Change my mind.
My uncle flies a glider. Although he may have some regrets now that my father can no longer maintain it for him.
Well that's just shit that happens with shit.
Pilot Plummeted From ‘Amateur-Built’ Plane Before Deadly Crash: NTSB

I feel like there is a learning opportunity here.
It's an approved temporary repair and standard industry practice.
Speed Tape will also give you the worst paper cut of your life.
@Pesqueeb tell us about various adhesive backed thin film products that we may access as consumers that might be generally useful to us all as engineers and mountain bikers. I already use so-called 3M ‘helicopter tape’ a fair bit, it is very useful. I just googled Speed Tape and realised I have used it in the past already, again really handy in the right spot. What other cool tapes are out there that we should know about?
and gonna need another roll of speed tape
That's gotta be like 1000 years worth of rain in Dubai, dunnit??
Oooof.....
I've pulled some phones and water bottles out of the shitter, and cleaned the remains of dead animals from all sorts of locations, but that's a new one to me.
wow it doesnt matter which MFG is building planes. they have and will continue to do the same things
Cost overruns and technical problems of the C-5A were the subject of a congressional investigation in 1968 and 1969.[16][17] The C-5 program has the dubious distinction of being the first development program with a $1‑billion (equivalent to $8.3 billion today) overrun.[10][18] Due to the C-5's troubled development, the Department of Defense abandoned Total Package Procurement.[19] In 1969, Henry Durham raised concerns about the C-5 production process with Lockheed, his employer. Subsequently, Durham was transferred and subjected to abuse until he resigned. The Government Accountability Office substantiated some of his charges against Lockheed. Later, the American Ethical Union honored Durham with the Elliott-Black Award.[20] The Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Management Systems, Ernest Fitzgerald, was another person whose fostering of public accountability was unwelcome.[21]

Well that doesn't seem ideal.
What military plane has not gone over budget or taken longer than expected? The B52?
Another week, another ... Oh whoops! Sorry 'bout that!

Providence, surely.

The emergency slide that came off a Delta 767 washed up in front of the house of a lawyer whose firm is suing Boeing over the Alaska blowout
A maintenance issue caused the slide to fall off the 34-year-old Boeing 767 on Friday. Where it washed up was quite the coincidence.

A second Boeing whistleblower has died. Josh Dean, a former mechanical engineer and quality auditor at Spirit AeroSystems, had flagged a manufacturing defect in a pressure bulkhead of the 737 MAX. He died Tuesday, two weeks after suddenly taking ill, being intubated and confined to the ICU. He filed a formal complaint against Boeing last year.
Dean's death comes two months after a separate Boeing whistleblower was found dead in his car from a gunshot wound to the head. John Barnett was due to appear for day 3 of depositions but never showed. His body, and a gun in his hand, were eventually found in a parking garage. I'm not aware of any surveillance video showing him driving there that day.
I'd say they're dropping like flies, but it's probably closer to say that they are "dropping like parts from a Boeing".

luggage shift...
Well, at least they went around. Continuing with those types of oscillations usually results in some kind of structural damage to the fuselage that could junk the entire airplane. I always say you get two bounces for free, then you start breaking stuff bad.
