25,000 gallons of gasoline. More if that is the highway mpg. 

Making landfills just a little more decorative. 

Per the report, the required bolts securing the spacecraft to an adapter plate were installed, but not the bolts securing the adapter plate to the TOC (Turn Over Cart).

Boeing QC found, among between 10,000 and 20,000 rivets, 5 rivets next to the door that were improperly installed on what was the same or next day after delivery of the fuselage to that factory. Boeing QC would have seen the bolts were installed, as shown in the NTSB preliminary report photo that was recorded by Boeing…

Because they aren’t Boeing employees and the FAA really doesn’t like having whoever Spirit sends and Boeing doesn’t control to access the data.

The first f’ing words out of Calhoun’s mouth was to take sole blame.

“Spirit has a vested interest in shipping sloppy product to Boeing”

Hey, wait a minute - those aren’t light sabers!

 More. About 2 bananas.

Nikki Haley on SNL is a splinter under the skin of the Crying Orange; seems like a fair use to me. 

Oh dear, do keep up.

Finished reading the reports already? Did you see the way the wheel trim switches over-rode the MCAS system instantly?

By buying a plane ticket you have made a choice to avoid 10000 or more chances that some vehicle operator near you will cause an accident fatal to you.

Airbus could have built the software to prevent a high-energy descent to impact the ground. They saved a lot of money and rushed the plane out.

Good news - it doubles the number of trips as they only lift from one side at a time. It unemployees the guys who used to sling it into the truck. It adds a new gawdawful sound to fill in even a moment of silence and that is adding to the misery of removing the nearly 70,000 parking spaces in a city where parking…

Like clockwork, another small plane has crashed, killing people on the ground for no apparent reason but, from 13,000 laser strikes, not one related crash or instance of permanent harm.

Almost every job is selling your body. Whether it is from physical labor or use of the brain - all body parts. 

The nice thing is the visual effects of the green lasers, the main culprit, are diminished or eliminated with rose colored glasses, but the pilots refuse to protect themselves.

It’s not exactly a Washington airport - Dulles is in Northern Virginia. It was the site of Transpo 72, a place I got to see the Blue Flame salt flat car display and a Vulcan heavy bomber fly overhead. Lots of promise for the future. Unfortunately several deaths from the airshow ended future events.

There was no additional training for MCAS because MCAS is an extension of the Speed Trim System and there is no training for that either. Both operate the aircraft trim to meet handling requirements, one to reduce forces and the other to discourage the pilot from stalling the plane, the way AF447 was stalled and…
