jbg Posted November 25, 2010 Report Posted November 25, 2010 Thanks for merging the duplicate thread. I am posting so I can continue to follow. Quote Free speech: "You can say what you want, but I don't have to lend you my megaphone." Always remember that when you are in the right you can afford to keep your temper, and when you are in the wrong you cannot afford to lose it. - J.J. Reynolds. Will the steps anyone is proposing to fight "climate change" reduce a single temperature, by a single degree, at a single location? The mantra of "world opinion" or the views of the "international community" betrays flabby and weak reasoning (link).
YEGmann Posted November 25, 2010 Report Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) Yes, and? That doesn't mean the the aircraft is bad now, which is something that you implied. The aircraft is not bad operationally, it is no doubt airworthy. However the situation with the airfarme fatigue is really bad. Flight hours are still short of the MacDonnel assigned service life, but cracking is already occurring with full force. CF and L-3 MAS are doing a really great job to keep them flying, but they cannot overcome the mother-nature. All spare wings are already in use being constantly swapped among aircrafts. Maintaining a configuration status of each aircraft is not a nightmare yet, but it is challenging. I do not believe they will be able to fly them ten more years without significant operational restrictions. The same is with the Sea Kings. Edited November 25, 2010 by YEGmann Quote
