US airline regulators have launched an investigation after an engine cowling on a Boeing plane fell off during takeoff and struck the wing flap, the latest in a series of safety problems facing the aircraft manufacturer.

Just replace them with 1950s bumper cars.

What was old is new again.

I don't have a problem with replacing them with modern technology as they are in, "Tomorrowland'.

 

 

A new approach that's probably not very practical.

The actual propulsion is a separate system from 'levitation'.

Wow.

A little more context on what happened.

More proof that jive turkeys can fly.

 

 

Those guys are very good.

The mail has arrived with my mom's sweet potato pie, that's been half eaten when checking it for 'drugs'.

Cargo shift during the launch.

VRC-50, 1970 - Tuesday 15 December 1970 (USS Ranger CV-61)

Grumman C-2A Greyhound BuNo 155120 / RG 414


Crew: 4, Passengers: 5, Fatalities: 9

LT Meril "SKIP" McKoy, LTJG Piersanta, ADJ3 John Sziapa, ADJ3 Clyde "BUCK" Owens

BTCM Deuso from SRF Subic, AQF2 Stewart, XXX from VA-113 and four Philippine civilians: Deperio, Flores, Sarmiento and Lofamia

An C-2A greyhound transport plane was destroyed when it crashed into the sea near the aircraft carrier USS Ranger (CVA-61), in the Gulf of Tonkin. All four crew members and five passengers were killed. The airplane had landed on USS Ranger to deliver passengers and supplies. The aircraft carrier was on active duty during the Vietnam War at the time of the accident. The airplane crashed shortly after a catapult takeoff. It pitched up, stalled, and crashed into the sea. The aircraft stalled after the catapult launch with a probable load shift of the cargo. It reached an extreme nose-up attitude, went into a hammerhead stall, and crashed off the carrier's port bow. Nine crew members were killed, seven were missing.
