Man, aerospace innovation must have really plateaued! You'd be shocked. Apparently, some incorrigibles are still flying the Stearman, which first flew 90 years ago!

January 22, 20242 yr This ATC clip is unfortunately truncated... She declared immediately on TO and was stepped on. Then reports on the ground after multiple attempts by the controller to reply. Will be looking forward to finding out if they ran the engine up to 50% or greater before TO roll and confirmed good #'s... Edited January 22, 20242 yr by Flyfaster_MTN002 SAR Pilot.

Yes and I could see ice/dirt ingestion, I wonder if the inertial separator was doing its thing. Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB
