Next time I'm home I'll dig up my grandfathers stuff. I still have a nazi flag he brought back, and a nazi typewriter...

Plot twist: It's not a typewriter.

It may not be directly visible but there's a pretty clear progression, the writing was definitely on the walls. What's worse is that there were like 2 major European wars in between the ACW and WW1, not even counting the Russo Japanese war.

I’m always under the impression jet planes are incredibly fragile and the slightest rock or twig sucked into the engine would blow it or a bump like those would just cause the wing to break off. That’s insane.

Consider that Navy jets landing on a carrier is basically a crash landing.

Literally every plane now has weight on wheels switch that doesn't allow that. I can believe that happening early on but not any time in the last 40 years or so.

I guess a defective WOW switch might cause it, though in most cases defective means either dead or loving with someone else's poo poo. I could also see someone working on it and forgetting to take the shim out.

I'm pretty sure each strut has it's own switch but if it didn't you could have problems if the nose strut is off the ground and the mains aren't...
