US military grounds entire Osprey tiltrotor fleet over safety concerns

Sigh.. Why is it the Germans can do this..

.. and the US cannot?

(See DO-29)

Length of the Do 29 was 9.5 meters (31 feet 2 inches), wingspan was 13.2 meters (43 feet 4 inches), and empty weight was 2,180 kilograms (4,805 pounds). Initial flight was on 12 December 1958. The Do 29s demonstrated outstanding short-field performance, even though the props were never tilted below 60 degrees from the horizontal. However, Dornier did nothing more with the idea after the end of Do 29 flight tests. One remains on display in Germany.

SAP CTO bows out over 'incident' at company shindig

Re: I want to address an incident at a past company event where my behavior was inappropriate...

In a previous life, I worked for the the big X company, and we had machines on a military base. Literally 2 or 3 times a year I had to replace platen glass. This can crash the machine, so most of the time, I had "evidence" It ALWAYS got posted by the copier, and I think it triggered more events sometimes..

But I don't remember any copies with lederhosen....

Cultural Treasures

Most don't know, without travel to the island of Formosa; when the communist drove the ruling elite from the mainland, they took all of the treasures that were bestowed upon the leaders of China, for all those thousands of years.

These currently reside in in Taiwan. The displays are stunning, takes days to see what is displayed, and most is locked out of sight.

Maybe that's want the leadership want back...
