I have a feeling the 190 is going to stick around a while longer than forecasted...
Does anyone know if they are re-painting the 190s? I swear I saw a 190 the other day with the new “highrise” tailfin and what looked like a fresh coat of paint. Why paint them if you are going to replace them anyway? Unless it is one of the 30 we own and plan to keep longer?

The problem was that for a very long time people were told it was a wet pack, moldy filter or some other nonsense so they didnt protect themselves when it happened.
Also, the radiation is a much larger risk. Pick the plane you want to get cooked in.

The engine oil pressure on the IAE has an engine oil PSI of 250+. What's the E190?
