Re: Boeing Forgets to Attach Wings
Even without the wings the tornado derailed the flat-cars with fuselages a lot easier than the soybeans ...

Montana train derailment spills Boeing 737 fuselages
POSTED: 06:32 PM CDT Jul 04, 2014
SUPERIOR, Mont. -A train carrying parts manufactured by Wichita's Spirt Aerosystems en route to Boeing's final assembly plant in Washington, has derailed in Montana.
Linda Frost, Montana Rail Link, told CBS-affiliate KPAX 19 cars derailed about 18 miles east of Superior around 4 p.m Thursday. Seven of the cars were carrying aircraft components, three cars soybeans, three cars with denatured alcohol and the other seven were empty, Frost said. The aircraft components landed in the Clark Fork River.
Alcohol was involved.

Re: Boeing Forgets to Attach Wings
Those 3 fuselages only represent 2 days worth of production.
It is sad when Boeing builds more 737's in a week than Cessna builds C 172's in 2 Months.

Re: Boeing Forgets to Attach Wings
Luckily it's only a few POS 737s. A trainload of 320s, that would be a loss.

That was a good one - we all know the best place for an airbus is the garbage can!
Re: Boeing Forgets to Attach Wings
Lol. That's a good one.
I wasn't making an Airbus vs Boeing comment. Guess I'm annoyed because I just spent an hour looking up the Max and - no suprise - it's another 1950s technology cockpit. Even the Beachcomers wouldn't want one.

Re: Boeing Forgets to Attach Wings
What a bunch of idiotic comments. This forum has become truly sophomoric.
Re: Boeing Forgets to Attach Wings
What sort of comments would you prefer? I'm slightly doubtful that the fellows in charge of large component logistics at Boeing/Spirit are checking a Canadian aviation forum for ideas to improve the safety of their train cars.imarai wrote:What a bunch of idiotic comments.

Yes as pilots we are akin to the academic elite's and must not make such asinine comments. We should be training on Lumosity for our 10th try at the Mensa exam rather than the multitude of effortless industry exams that one could complete without our sobriety intact. lol.
Hows that? or...
Maybe a Austin powers reference; "what is that? it looks like a huge..."
Better?
