It's because we lead the world in every way. Smart and stupid.

Every 737 ever built has electric trim. And an off switch.

As does every transport category jet I can think of—certainly every one I’ve flown.

As for Boeing and their MAX fleet being grounded with no real problem found. Boeing made a $100,000 donation to Trump's election committee. Grounding the fleet is to save Boeing from being financially ruined by the Dems in the House for that. That is why Nikkie Hailey was made a member of the board.

OK, I admit I don't get the connection with Nikki Hailey. How does her presence on the board change anything?

Also, a $100k donation to a Presidential campaign is pocket change when you consider the Trump campaign spent about $1 billion. How does that contribution become a player in the MAX grounding?

So, clue me in here. What's the significance?

It’s almost like there isn’t anything wrong with the plane. It’s totally political. Boeing is perfect and don’t make mistakes.

She’s pretty attractive.

Said nobody ever.   You were half right.

Ya thanks Toad. I was starting to think I was the only one trying to find a connection.

I tend to be very savvy politically—which is why I called the shot on the FAA grounding and why well before it happened, along with the EASA smear job—but I, too, cannot figure the Nikki thing out.   Maybe her ties to politicians in South Carolina as the former Governor is why.  Or it’s payback for her previous help.   

I can’t stand her so I haven’t really bothered to think about it much, I’ll admit.

I can think of a time when they were perfect and did not make a mistake, at the help of Lloyd Stearman no doubt.

You don’t know the meaning of the word ETERNITY until you try to fly one of those from the RGV of Texas up to Dallas during a Blue Norther.

That’s a beauty.

I prefer the STA. I should add that the fact that it has a Menasco essentially makes it a very unwanted airplane.
