From across the ramp it sure looked like speed tape, although it could have been a riveted patch. South Dakota to MSP is a pretty short flight. If I had been that guy I would have demanded a free first class pass for four pax domestic and international for the rest of my life. Even if NWA won the lawsuit, the cost of litigation would probably have been cheaper than the tix. But how in any way was the fault of MWA what happened? |

: From across the ramp it sure looked like speed tape, although it could have been a riveted patch. South Dakota to MSP is a pretty short flight. They could have flown it, but it would almost certainly have been a ferry to get the skin patched. Just rivets won't do it AFAIK, it has to be bondded. Problem with pressurised fuselages is that a tear like that is a stress riser, so even a little patch has to be prepared and doen properly. not a big issue if you fly it unpressurised, though.

After the absence of your ignorance for a couple of months, the newsgroup begins to show signs of becoming useful again, and here you are, spouting your wanna be troll nonsense, and cross posting to the kook world. Are you afraid Mx was stealing your thunder? Nope, i just like watching you bitch and moan. It's a bit like watching a turtle turned on it's back. Bertie |

All you got to do is get 12 people together who have been ****ed off by airlines! Highyl unlikely, i know, but surely not completely beyond the realsm of possibility. Bertie |

Maxie begins a new kook-out.were.... Airliner crashes into HudsonRiver after LGA departure

I propose a technological solution to the problem of bird strikes: turboprops. Lets return to the good old days pre-jet engines. Discuss. On Oct. 4, 1960, 62 people died when Eastern Airlines Flight 375 plunged wing-first into Boston Harbor after flying into a flock of birds shortly after takeoff. It was the first commercial airline crash in Logan Airport's history, the deadliest air disaster in New England history at the time, and it remains the most deadly crash in US history involving a bird strike. Nine of the 10 survivors had serious injuries. The Eastern Airlines Lockheed Electra four-engine turbo-prop airliner had 72 people aboard and was bound for Atlanta. The plane flew into a flock of starlings at an altitude of 400 feet. Three engines lost power, and the plane stalled and spun, crashed into water 200 yards offshore, and broke in half. http://www.boston.com/news/local/mas...s_boston_1960/ |

Well ... while the L-188 Lockheed Electra example is a turboprop, the above poster apparently didn't realize that a turboprop engine has a jet engine. Discuss. The large piston engines were incredibly complex, and generally could drive airliners at only about half the speed of those with the pure jet engines. |
