So I thought I'd outsource babysitting to the two year old Lil Buddy. He was in the bath and happy, which was an accomplishment. So I was on the iPad. Wife came in, I said look he's happy, went back to looking for Penny pic. Then I heard my wife scream "look at all the water on the floor!!!"

I was standing five feet away. Missed it.

Moral of the story? Outsourcing is bad.

Yikes - I have CQ this month, good photo to distract the examiner from my lack of knowledge during the walk-around slides.

Best flying I ever saw Mav was when you pulled the show and tell with the examiner.

That one was pretty amazing for a -200. Anyone know the deets on if they had the wrong speeds, or flaps, set? Seems like it would take more than one link in the error chain to pull that one off.

Accident: Aeromexico B762 at Madrid on Apr 16th 2013, tail strike on takeoff

By Simon Hradecky, created Tuesday, Apr 16th 2013 19:57Z, last updated Tuesday, Apr 16th 2013 22:50Z
An Aeromexico Boeing 767-200, registration XA-TOJ performing flight AM-2 from Madrid,SP (Spain) to Mexico City (Mexico), was rotating for takeoff from Madrid's runway 36L when the tail of the aircraft contacted the runway surface leaving debris behind. The crew continued the takeoff, levelled off and entered a hold to burn off fuel, then returned to Madrid for a safe landing about 90 minutes after departure. Two cabin crew received injuries, the aircraft sustained substantial damage.

An Air Europa Airbus A330 departing after the Aeromexico received nose gear tyre damage while departing over the debris left by the Boeing and needed to return, too, see Incident: Air Europa A332 at Madrid on Apr 16th 2013, damaged nose gear tyres on takeoff.

The airport reported two cabin crew received neck injuries (mainly bruises) from their seat belts as result of impact forces.

The airline confirmed the aircraft suffered a tailstrike on takeoff and returned to Madrid for a safe landing. The safety of passengers was not at risk at any time. The airline is cooperating with the investigation authorities.

Spain's CIAIAC is investigating the accident and resulting tyre damage incident.

If you scrape enough stuff off the back end, the CG moves forward and it will pitch down, eventually....

Bar youre the insurance man, that plane is 23 years old... should it stay or go?


Of course at Delta 23 years would only be at it's half life.

I wonder why Air Yurop took off... I would think they had to see the sparks and smoke from a tail strike that bad. Their FOD check was very successful, though! It came back positive....
