The plane has the world’s oldest twin engine and there are only five left of the planes remaining.

So of the five *planes* remaining, there are only 5 of the 5 left?

The “The plane has the world’s oldest twin engine” doesn’t make any sense at all. Are they employing people from far flung Klingon colonies to write this stuff?

Talking of Lyons…I wonder if they are aware of how their A26 “Feeding Frenzy” got that name… 😉

JAP made the DOHC heads for Lotus Cortinas back in the ’60’s 🙂

My shop looks like a bomb went off in there..& pretty much everything gets used.. altho with 30+ vises, not all of them get used.

Nice JT 🙂

I’ve officially stopped keeping track of how many vises I have… I’ll just go with “at least 30” for now

Picked up a Columbian 604 1/2 the other day…

I think the notion of the DC-10 having crack problems stemmed (unjustly) from the American Airlines crash in 1979, when an engine fell off shortly after take-off. American’s maintenance procedures -mainly in using a forklift truck to change engines- was held largely responsible,

Yup, I know someone connected with this & it was the way the engine was lifted up onto the mounts over stressed one of them causing it to later fail leaving an engine shaped dent in the planet (basically).

& to this day Douglas aircraft are refered to as “Longbeach Death Tubes”
