    Cracks found on military helicopters... scary stuff

    Cracks found on military helicopters... scary stuff

    The image clearly shows cracks found during routine inspections of the
    Kaman Aerospace SH-2 Seasprite helicopter. Pilots and crew of these
    helicopters were seriously alarmed (and rightly so) when this
    information was released.

    They were especially concerned because the cracks weren't found in
    just one location - they were all over the aircraft. There was no real
    uniformity to them.

    Hmmm. Doesn't appear to be stress fractures...
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Talking

    NO amount of reengineering is going to make you feel comfortable in the prescence of those types of cracks

    Seems to me that with the cutbacks to the Airforce that their builders are now moonlighting
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
