Some avaition news

 

 I've mentioned before how incidents accidents seen to have trends, over the last week theres been a rash of wheel and tyre problems with commercial airlines.  None have led to a crash, yet.  But it's courious and makes me wonder if cost cutting may be a factor?

 Theres been a few bad helicopter accidents with a number of deaths, and one crash caused by a jacket blowing into the tail roter (the crew were unhurt)  I've mentioned before if your near helicopters be careful not to let any loose objects get sucked into the engines or rotors.  We always removed hats and stuffed them in our jackets near them.  Tail rotors are very easily damaged.
