He said the white lines are just water vapor from jet engines freezing in the cold air, and he drew me a diagram of how the exhaust mixes with the atmosphere. I always thought it was weird stuff being sprayed, but his breakdown made more sense than any video I'd seen. Has anyone else had a chat with someone in a specific field that cleared up a conspiracy for them?
I used to have all my drivers in a big plastic bin, but after a job in Phoenix last month where I spent 45 minutes just looking for a specific Torx bit, I bought a $40 magnetic rail system and now everything is right in front of me, so what's the one small change that's saved you the most time on a standard repair?
I was doing a pre-flight walkaround at a small regional airport in Maine last spring and found a mallard duck sitting on a pile of grass and twigs inside the main landing gear bay. We had to call animal control to safely remove her, and now I always double-check for wildlife before signing off on any inspection. What's the weirdest thing you've found during a routine check?
