I imagine the Hull Coverage for these monsters just ticked up a bit.......

[SkyDancer]

I think they do something of the sort .... lateral shear???

"...but Airbus is confident that it will not need to modify production aircraft."

Hmmmm, or Airbus doesn't want to delay production again.

I forgot about the radiation leaks. Must have been from the vibration the laundry equipment caused.

And don't forget that the company that made the props had a mysterious fire immediately after, and c'est la vie, the
manufacturing records on the props were destroyed.

So they pulled the props off another carrier.

As I understand it, they failed the regs, so they'd have to make another testbed for validation.

Hey, it's worth it! :)

Dear globalheater,I guess(by that time)I will have done my earthly traveling!

"I'll bet he pulled 'em off of flies as a kid"

You mean everyone didn't?

[Erasmus]

Naww--I pulled mine off birds.
