Just lost track of this C-37A heading South near Naples, FL…. anyone see it?
Dodge Journeys have electronic throttle control, how convenient.
Those MAGMA planes are damn busy aren't they… I really wish I could have tracked the C-37 just a little longer.. had to have been big brass on that plane if headed to Gitmo considering its one of those with blue/white VIP livery.
Something about UA flight 1175 I don't understand… all of the MSM stories on this are changing their headlines from "Engine Failure" to "Engine Cover Broke Off"…. yet there is obviously a fan blade broken off in this picture. You can see where it struck the containment ring. So, the question is did the fan blade fail after the cowl came off or was it the cause? If the cause why is the story being spun?

So lets say that the Cowl was not secured properly, to break the fan blade it would have had to have warped the fan housing enough to cause the fan blade to break… Thing is those housings are pretty tough since they have to contain the fan blades. It seems to me that if that were the case more than one fan blade would have broken.. It is also a clean break at the fan blade root which to me indicates a stress failure… thats not to say that a stress failure couldn't be faked or "helped along".
