Witnesses very often claim to have heard sputtering before a crash, even when the NTSB determines there was no mechanical problem. In this case, it was a Twin turbine engine. I’m not an expert on jet turbines but I cannot imagine a way that one could sputter. They’re not build like piston engines.

Annual inspections are required in New York State, and I usually do this at my local dealer

^^ This 100%.  Dude got fleeced out of $750 of service that should have been recommended but not required.  They don’t check any of that shit in a state inspection, nor would they even know if was going to pass emissions testing without actually testing it.  

Jalop commit the deadly sin of visiting a dealership to have work done on his car, writes a thousand words justification letter asking for Redemption
