"Boeing in talks to buy supplier Spirit AeroSystems, WSJ reports" by @Reuters - Anticipated for years, #737Max door plug blowout may be what forces Boeing to re-acquire Spirit Aerosystems which it spun out in 2005 https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/boeing-talks-buy-spirit-aero-wsj-reports-2024-03-01/ #aviation #travel #business #avgeek


"Boeing to develop quality, safety plan sought by FAA" by @Reuters - Boeing will report to FAA within 90 days on quality control improvements following 737 door plug blowout due to missing bolts. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/faa-tells-boeing-come-up-with-plan-90-days-fix-quality-issues-2024-02-28/ #737Max #AS1282 #aviation #travel #avgeek


"#Boeing 'under a microscope' following door plug blow out over Portland" by @KGWNews NBC Portland - KGW interview with US🇺🇸 Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg during visit to new Portland airport terminal https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/boeing-investigation-buttigieg/283-c4c7c881-7e25-48d6-b0a7-ab8c8fb0f5d4 #737Max #AS1282 #aviation #travel #avgeek


It puzzles me how 737 Max9 door plug lasted until Jan 5 without bolts.🤯 That door was at risk of blowing out since 1st flight Oct 15, delivery Oct 31, entry into service Nov 11. ref @aircurrent / @jonostrower article: https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/127-days-the-anatomy-of-a-boeing-quality-failure/ #AS1282 #aviation #travel #avgeek


"Bolts appeared to be missing from Boeing 737 Max door plug that blew off midflight, NTSB says" by @CNBC / @lesliejosephs - NTSB found door plug was opened after assembly to fix rivets, and bolts weren't reinstalled https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/06/ntsb-boeing-737-max-9-report-bolts-appeared-missing-from-alaska-air-plane.html #AS1282 #aviation #travel #avgeek


"Portland International Airport passengers have mixed reaction to Boeing 737 MAX 9s in the air again" by @KGWNews NBC Portland - With FAA-approved inspection procedure, Alaska & United returning their 737 Max 9s to flight. https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/alaska-airlines-737-max-9-flights-portland-international-airport/283-9a11f175-1011-45f9-86fd-c0b439f4408a #AS1282 #KPDX #aviation #travel #avgeek


"The FAA lays out a path for Boeing 737 Max 9 to fly again, but new concerns surface" by @npr - Approved inspection procedure will get existing Max 9s flying again. More reviews before Boeing can increase production rate. https://www.npr.org/2024/01/24/1226762641/faa-boeing-737-max-9-grounded-inspections-resume #AS1282 #aviation #travel #avgeek


At the online Aerospace Chat a week ago, Nick @JetTip specifically asked why they weren't doing inspections of the 737-900ER door plugs, which are identical to those on the 737 Max 9. He was apparently a step ahead of them. It's good to see they eventually caught up. #aviation #travel #avgeek


"FAA recommends door plug inspections on another Boeing model after midair Alaska blowout" by @NBCNews - Older Boeing 737-900ER has same door plugs as Max9. Alaska was already inspecting out of "an abundance of caution". https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/faa-recommends-door-plug-inspections-boeing-model-midair-alaska-blowou-rcna134986 #AS1282 #aviation #travel #avgeek


My concerns were valid about #AS1282 debris falling on Portland metro area. Based on this article in The @Oregonian, I plotted the general area on a map where the door plug was found in residential backyard. Cell phones fell nearby. https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/2024/01/door-that-fell-from-alaska-airlines-flight-found-in-a-backyard-officials-say.html #aviation #travel #avgeek
OpenStreetMap plot of the area described by NTSB where Alaska 1282 debris was found "near Southwest Barnes Road and Oregon 217". The point shows Barnes & 217 but it was apparently found in a nearby residential area. NTSB and news media are not naming the person who found it except as "Bob" to protect his privacy.


"Boeing CEO says company is "acknowledging our mistake" after Alaska Airlines door blowout" by @CBSNews - Boeing acknowledged it has responsibility for #AS1282 door plug blowout in the 2-month old 737 Max 9. Now to prevent more... https://www.cbsnews.com/news/boeing-ceo-acknowledging-our-mistake-alaska-airlines-door-plug-blowout-dave-calhoun/ #aviation #travel #avgeek


"US grounds some Boeing MAX planes for safety checks" by Reuters - Similarly-configured 737 Max 9 planes (with a plug where the 200 model would have a door) temporarily grounded by FAA until each gets a safety inspection after #AS1282. https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/us-safety-board-investigating-alaska-airlines-boeing-737-max-9-emergency-landing-2024-01-06/ #aviation #travel #avgeek


I was in Portland at the time of #AS1282. Miles away, I was unaware until later. A concern looking at the flight track is debris could have fallen on western side of Portland metro area. If not yet found, daylight may yield clues. https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/ASA1282 #aviation #travel #avgeek


"Alaska Airlines flight makes emergency landing in Portland, Oregon, after window appears to have blown out after takeoff" by @CNN - 737 Max9 window & side panel blew out at 16000ft after takeoff. Safely returned to #KPDX. https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/06/us/alaska-airlines-window-landing/index.html #AS1282 #aviation #travel #avgeek


There is one on display in the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. During WWII airmen were trained to use it at the airport, then controlled by the Army. #NH #history #aviation

Polish vassals are not shy in their expressions
What has made the F-35 the object of virulent criticism? First and foremost, it's about cost and flight and "performance" parameters. The aircraft has been accused of being too slow and not maneuverable enough, suggesting that it makes a ridiculously easy target for older Russian Su-27 fighters. The F-35's pride was not brought by the fake air battle it fought with the F-16 last year over the Pacific. At the time, the old "hawk" defeated it. In the end, the Pentagon explained that the copy of the F-35 that took part in the test was not equipped with standard combat armament, and did not have a "stealth cloak", which increased its detectability.

from comments:
F-35 aircraft for everything so in total for nothing. With underslung armaments on the outer nodes it loses "invisibility" to radar. Inside there is room for only 2 medium-range missiles. During sham combat, it has not outmaneuvered the F-16, so in this respect it is inferior to the F-15, F-18, F-22, Mig-29, Su-27, Su-30, Su-35, and Eurofighters and Rafale. It is slower to oldies such as the MiG-25 and Mig-31. Thus, as a fighter, its usefulness is highly problematic. As a support aircraft, it is too fragile and takes too few armaments, well, and it needs fighter cover if only in the form of the F-15. Overall, it is not a combat aircraft but a product whose primary purpose was to extract money. In this respect, it is the absolute record-holder and the undisputed leader.

FAA’s diversity push includes focus on hiring people with ‘severe intellectual’ and ‘psychiatric’ disabilities
The Federal Aviation Administration is actively recruiting workers who suffer “severe intellectual” disabilities, psychiatric problems and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion hiring initiative spelled out on the agency’s website.

#USA #us #american #aviation is a big #fail


Many people are rightly talking about a major ‘crisis of competency’ taking over the US, what with the latest Boeing Max door failure as well.
As if that wasn’t bad enough, we had a major revelation from Ukrainian soldiers that the reason none of their Abrams are on the front is because they don’t work. Recall the recent reports of the highly sensitive Abrams, which need their filters changed every hour. But they took it a step further and actually showed a damning video of their Abrams gun all janky, its stabilizers completely shot.

About Boeing Fails


Boeing instructed customer airlines to inspect their 737 Max jets for loose bolts, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced Thursday.
...
Little noticed, the Federal Aviation Administration in December published a Boeing request for an exemption from key safety standards on the 737 MAX 7 — the still-uncertified smallest member of Boeing’s newest jet family.

One MiG over Tel Aviv: How the USSR averted World War III in October 1973
The era of confrontation between the capitalist and communist worlds was called the Cold War. Its battles were played out not within the borders of the main participants - the United States and the USSR - but in countries or even regions quite distant from Moscow and Washington
