Gen 1 to Gen 2 was an improvement, otherwise it is accurate.

From the door mirror back it looks like a 911.

It looks more like a choreographed dance, than a fight, both parties agreed on set moves, so you punch here, I step there. You can feel their anticipation of the next move. I get that, this is how it is done in every movie, but the good fights feel real, chaotic, violent, this one is just square dancing

The Rent is too Damn High!

To be fair Lawrence of Arabia has a “built in” intermission.

Reading this reminded me of Valery Legasov, who committed suicided, many thought, he was trying to bring attention to the lack of action by the Soviet state to fix the design flaws of their nuclear facilities.

They should run the same inspection series at Airbus and their suppliers and see the result. 33 fails are probably bad, but is it? The lack of documentation is concerning, so your hands on guy found a process to check something with a piece of plastic, might not be a bad thing, but document it.

I used to tow this guy multiple times per year (drove a beater Audi 80), he was sitting in my truck on the way to a repair shop and left detailed messages by a series of collect calls, like this. The guy was an “artist” when came to the collect call intros.

Eastern Europe in the late seventies, early eighties, you could only get oranges and bananas in December. Also in such low quantities, that we were waiting in lines at the grocery store to be able to buy 3 or 4 bananas (not kg, but by piece). After I migrated to the US, I was in shock, you an buy bananas at any time,…

Well, time to buy a new Thomas Guide

Loving this show, I watched this in the eighties as a kid, but I don’t remember any of the plotlines and never read the book (will put it on the list).

Need a horn that plays something from a Mariachi band.

No Bugatti Veyron / Chiron?

Yeah, Steve was on that plane, soon as the door came off he calmly started his analytics: “let’s see, our altitude is... ok, airspeed *puts hand outside to measure air flow*.. mhm, *pulls out slide ruler*, yes, carry the two... got it, No worry folks just an inconvenience...”  

The identical Honda Pilots... pure gold, still laughing.

So what is wrong with the pedestrian airbag?

I recommend a visit to the optometrist  /jk 

Looks like the tail rotor has been changed and other parts have been passed inspection, and while the total time is pretty high, it still looks like a great deal (obviously because of the government surplus deal). Something a secretive organization could use for cheap.
