About two weeks ago - parked on the same street, no less - there was a pale yellow Dodge Aries K and a dark blue Yugo.  And this was in suburbia too.  :headscratch:

Yesterday while flying a 262 in the MA after my 4th rearm as I was rolling down the runway to takeoff, both engines blew simultaneously and I had to jam on the brakes and roll to a stop.  Anyone else have this happen?

Wow, that *is* weird. Never even heard someone mention that kind of thing. Is it possible that AH3 now models FOD, or the lifespan of the Jumo 004 ???

I agree with Bino.   I am wondering the same.  Jet engines have a short shelf life.

Possible? Technically yes. But I don't believe that at all, considering HT's stance on things like this in the past and the absence of any patch notes explaining such a radical departure from a ~17 year old principle.

I rearmed one yesterday at least 6 times and nothing bad happened like before.  Just a game hiccup it seems.
