Just on the news they showed passenger video of a Boeing 737 engine cover tearing off during takeoff. Looked frightening..
Whistleblower Joshua Dean, who raised concerns about Boeing jets, dies at 45
This is the "2nd Whistle Blower" who has mysteriously died.
More conspiracy over how is Boeing able to put out hits on their "Whistle Blowers" this consistently.

I guess working for Boeing is even more dangerous than flying on one, eh?
Boeing says workers skipped required tests on 787 but recorded work as completed
FAA: Boeing apparently didn't confirm bonding "where the wings join the fuselage."

Like what? The wings are not meant to come off
Go read the article, it's scary that they aren't doing the proper QC checks.
Neat video about fictional aircraft
Not SF... just an aircraft that I like, the T-2 Buckeye, always liked that aircraft, not exactly elegant but looks sturdy.

Nice looking airplane, though it looks a bit like a kitbashed model with the front and back halves in two different scales.Boeing / Saab are contracted to make the new T-7 Red Hawk.
It's quite the beauty in design for a "Trainer".
“I need you to step out of the cockpit, sir.”
What is that? An oxygen tank?
“Could you hold still, please sir?”
