Those airplanes are always newsworthy, therefore any crashes or mishaps will always get a lot of attention that usually would only be given to big airliners.
General aviation (small private planes) accidents and mishaps usually do not get any attention unless they involve someone famous or if it by chance affect a lot…

Neither, I assume. The issue with auto makers in Brazil is that for the most part of the 1980's and 1990's cars (even smaller cars) were luxury products, and most families did not have any.

In Brazil, before self propelled sprayers were marketed directly by the tractor manufacuturers, such as John Deere, Valmet/Valtra or Massey Ferguson, it was a uncommon but practical conversion to take regular farm tractors and fit them with custom “portal axles” on the drive wheels to spray crops after they got too…

Boi is a portuguese term for that means steer in strict translation. On a broader meaning, boi can also be used to describe any kind of cattle raised for meat, as opposed to touro (bull) or vaca (cow), that are cattle raised to be part of breeding herd.
Any LGBTQ+ meaning perceived on the portuguese word “boi” is due…

Torch, you should move to Brazil, you would love it here. Lots of air-cooled VWs, Gurgels and of course, an app for cattle transport named uboi launched this year ( https://www.uboi.com.br/ ).
The only downside would be having to give up on your Changli...

Man,air transport are way more safety-conscious than the ground transportation industry, airplane pilots have more training and way more regulations to follow, yet some of them could use the wrong type of fuel until they changed the nozzle.

Brazilian Agrale has this kind of bus on their line-up (under the Volare brand) for at the very least 8 years. There you have it in it’s most common use, as a school bus for rural communities.

Well, China still uses steam locomotives for regular freight and even occasional commuter trains, with its newer steam engines built in 1999 (class SY).
I mean, its not a tourist ride or preservation line like Durango and Silverton in US or Harz rail lines in Germany, but real part of the transport network!
With China’s…

Since the last flight in march they returned 2 Combi 747s to meet demand for cargo. These jets reportedly could be reconfigured to all-cargo cabin configuration without much trouble (main deck is reinforced from the factory to handle heavier loads, with only the bulkhead to be moved to make more room for cargo.…

Bantam had the gold opportunity to become a profitable company during WWII due to the BRC being the only proposed vehicle able to meet the requirements US Army set. Willys stole the car, stole the contract (and splitted it with Ford) while Bantam had a much less profitable contract to supply trailers for the wartime…

the original Willys was developed under contract from the US Military and the basic design may essentially be government property to begin with

The Volkswagen LT line is also interesting, because it’s also the only time Volkswagen has ever built a front-engine/rear drive vehicle.

The issue is not the speed of the A-10, but how many of them are available. The F-16 can get to troops in contact, make a few passes and bingo back to base. It also outnumbers the A-10 in USAF inventory 4 to one, so when a call for air support comes in it is way more likely that the closer aircraft will be a F-16

The TL;DR version: The shop was not shut down, some cars were taken by the police since the Italian brands claim they were copying the cars and they claim that despite they look similar they were not unlicensed copies, just look-alikes and forensics will prove they were doing legit business.

They cannot be fixed yet. No regulator (FAA, EASA etc.) has approved Boeing’s modifications to re-certify these birds.

That was the point...

BMW was a aircraft engine manufacturer, building engines for several WWI and WWII aircraft, such as radial engines for the Fw-190 fighter and Ju-88 bomber, as well as jet engines for some variants of the Me-262 and inline engines for civil aircraft like the interwar Junkers F13.
This was the attempt to use their reput…

To be fair, even this monster of locomotive after decades of inaction still has less rust overall than the average David Tracy’s jeep...

It is a test tool and backup. If the 4014 breaks it tows her back. However while she runs, the diesel can engage its dynamic brakes and simulate a much heavier load.

The truck can carry 2,271 pounds, which is pretty decent, especially when you consider that there are some Ford F-150 versions that are rated for much less than that.
