the GuardianBoeing 737 Max operators told to check fuselages for cracksInspections ordered by US regulator will affect about 470 aircraft, after reported problems in earlier modelsI’m calling it now, those folding wingtips on the 777x are going to be an unmitigated disaster.

Whenever I think of the 787 I will forever think about the single survivor of the Air India crash. Imagine just unbuckling your seatbelt and basically walking out of a biblically accurate flaming hell unscathed and realizing you were like 1 out of 300 to survive.
