  • Airplane maintenance is REALLY expensive - but a lot less expensive if you're focus on reducing costs! As an added bonus, we can really save some weight in these aircraft if they're put together wrong enough!
    A seriously fun game - I had a great time with this!

We went back, landed, and as I'm unstrapping and getting ready to ground the aircraft for maintenance, we discovered that part of the seatbelt had the door shut on it and was flapping in the air.

    Useless fact (that may not be completely correct).
    When assembling the Merlin motors, engineers used a tuning fork to test the 'ring' of the bolt. If it was out of tune, they loosened/re-tightened the bolt. If it failed again, the block was scrapped.
    (Info provided years ago by either Dad or Uncle George (Mulligan) who used to pilot planes between airports/assembly during the war (and got to fly a Spit just to tick it off in his book.
    (He also gave ma a pair of full length leather gauntlets... He said the pilots preferred nylon gloves for a better feel... but in a fire, hilarity ensued with "plastic" gloves vs rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion.)
    Useless fact II: I'm just a repair mechanic of Water Blasters and other junk with 20yr experience in IT Support (till I got sick of the politics) soooo I don't know nuttin right anyhooze!
