Slight detour here, because it is JC afterall, but for some reason I'm getting German tractor pulls in my feed now. I guess it is just an extension of my mechanical interests, but I had no idea this was a thing outside of Appalachia, let alone in Germany.

Allison engines are still winners in Europe.

If MikeD started a channel, I'd actually watch it. I don't watch any of them (I only watch cooking and German car channels), but I know that he does. We're on a private fighter pilot FB group where he writes very detailed accident reports, as well as just general combat after-actions, for a bunch of mostly Desert Storm and Vietnam vets. I can't stand most of their politics, but none of Mike's content is political at all. I'm not on FB enough to read all of them, but he normally says "hey did you read my study of this?" and then I go on and read it. He has like 4 jobs I think? Maybe just 3? But he somehow has time for detailed research like this too. I just stood a few feet away from Ward Carrol's table a few weeks ago at tail hook, and I wanted to throw my beer bottle at his f***king sh**bag head. Most of you don't know him, but he is an embarrassment to naval aviation, and goes to that event to hopefully catch active duty junior officers who are drunk enough to tell him the hot goss, which he immediately regurgitates on his channel. It is disgusting. If he wasn't elderly, I'd have swung at him by now. I take major issue with these guys who monetize their, typically very minimal, "experience" in being fighter people. Ward didn't do f**** after his Bosnia deployment which he wrote a book about. Most of them are aggressively bad dudes who were forced out. Recent shenanigans aside, this is a community that generally shoots people in the head when they aren't performing. You could be a several year new JO, a 10-13 year department head, a 16 year CO, or a 20+ year wing commander (CAG) when it happens. I've seen all of those happen. A DCAG was just relieved a day before he became a CAG, last month. For fu*kery in an airplane. The long arm of judgement and the law is never far in this biz. As it should be. What is the phrase? "No slack in light attack"

His reports are legit and I don't think he gets enough respect here for what he brings to the table.
 
I saw this data pop up on Reddit, pretty interesting:

I have seen a fairly common mistake that can make the 767-300 suddenly speed up when you’re starting the approach (FLCH to VNAV without intervening/opening speed window).

Very easily fixed by experienced crews (open speed window after selecting VNAV).

Very curious to see how this all turns out.
