Maybe run it by the mods first?

 

I thought Boring and most airlines were re-marking those as just 737-8 to try to avoid scared passengers?

 

Lol

I just got back from the MAX training that’s required by the feds. Very short, but descent training. It comes back on line on March 11.

 

Let’s see it

 

I posted a bird strike a couple years ago....and you commented!

As the OP of the thread, I see no problem with it.

 

I see the operation was a success Justine. Bringing up shit from years ago like a champ.

 

Lol! Good find.

Here's the poor thing during a walk around.

 

Looks like that used to be a male American Kestrel.

 

I’m offended!

 

Another great afternoon of ski flying.

 

Anyone possibly looking for a gently used pair of David Clarke 10-13 S? Refurbed by DC, prob 25hrs on them.... Trying to raise some funds..

 

There were six Ospreys, two Vipers and two Venoms if he would have stuck around

Here's what the all looked like prior to loading:



(no, that's not my DCLB Sport, that is the rusty ass handrail on my ship though)

And here's what they all looked like on board:



Always a pleasure moving USMC birds. They take a lot less time than the Army, but the Army also has to take their stuff further apart. Only downside is that the Ospreys leak hydraulic fluid like a mofo all over the deck.

 

I’ll bite. I work for Honeywell Flight Test Operations. We have 11 Experimental Aircraft. Here’s our Boeing 757 with a 3rd test engine. We have:
Boing 757 (5th one made)
Embraer 170
Gulfstream G550
Falcon 900
Beech King Air 200
Leonardo AW139
Pilatus PC12
Cessna Citation V
Piper Malibu
Beech Bonanza
Cessna 182

 

Do the top wing sections of the Osprey just turn length wise?

 

Yep. Rotates around. Think it lifts up first to clear the fuselage. Clever compactness.

 

That’s awesome! I’ll have to ask him if he saw the others, he was working the Dole gate that day I think, he’s one of the supercargo’s at the port but lives out of state so he works for 3-4 weeks at a time and once he hits his target hours for the year he stays home.
That cool that the wing assembly on the Osprey rotates, I didn’t know that.

 

Interesting as I never knew that.....

 

Very nice. I did a Citation recurrent with one of your pilots about 10 years ago. Really nice guy and it sounded like a great operation there.

 

What was their name, if you remember?

 

Since we're posting Osprey's. Here's the internals.
