Cap

How do you know it isn't running away from home?

My problem is I always forget to listen to the in-flight announcements so I never figure out how to put my seatbelt on.

Halfway to Idiocracy

Straight to jail.

I just woke up and read the headline as "highly photogenic bird flu"

So "A" evolved from cattle. Must of been from the Angus breed.

I have nothing to contribute to this conversation. Just wanted to say that was a horribly written article.

We tested Comac parts for FAA certification. When you've tested parts for decades you can pretty much nail down the cause of the failure be it design, process, materials, a combination and so forth.

Also the c919 is only certified in China. It can't fly in the US or Europe.

There is more that goes into an airplane than the people maintaining or assembling it, which can and does go afoul. There is the entire manufacturing process, how materials are sourced, processed, refined, machined/formed, heat treated, stress relieved, coated/plated, assembled, and the list goes on. That is a major factor why aircraft are so safe and if you think China's material and process controls are as rigorous as someone like Boeing or Airbus, it isn't. It has taken decades of actual aircraft manufacturing to get the formula right for those respective companies and they continue to evolve as time goes on and new information is learned.

You can go to this FAA Link and view "Records of Accidents and Incidents. Takes a bit to learn to interpret the data but there are a lot of incidents. If I recall it includes both commercial and general aviation.

Edited because I can't English properly.

What a great image. You've got a guy on the far left eating elbow, the big beard guy with chipmunk teeth and the longest arm I've ever seen. Then when you look at the rest the crowd I don't think anyone's hands makes sense and I'm trying to make the T-shirt spell something but I just get Boabaneter?

I was lead to believe we would get Ant Man.
