There's always stuff happening in the world of flight - It's occasionally interesting to peruse the Aviation Herald (https://avherald.com/) to see just what's happened recently.

At least the front didn't fall off.

And we’ve now reached the stage where the media is using Boeing for clickbait. Hopefully no actual news about Boeing comes out because people will not be paying attention.

Now?

The media always uses nearly everything for clickbait.

That's Airbuses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPUWaaXMvcg

So it's the hydraulic equivalent of a buck/boost converter?

nicely put, but yeah.

More pleasant than the dying whale sound™ produced by some of the engines they use (PW1000G)

This is making the news since it's another Boeing issue, but it seems like any issue with a 757 at this point would be from improper maintenance, right?

I guess maintenance on the body work is done by Boing or affiliated workshops?

The Boeing rot surely have spread to the after market org. to.

Boeing could very well wreck old good designs. Like, why assume it isn't the case?

A 31 year old plane. This is more likely a delta issue than Boeing's.

Wheels falling off planes is "actual news." We've now reached the stage where accusations of clickbait became just as meaningless as accusations of fake news.

> Wheels falling off planes is "actual news."

Yes, on AV Herald. Planes break quite regularly, AV Herald has no shortage of things to write about. It's not worthy of the evening news, and especially unworthy of Hacker News. But "Boeing" drives clicks here too, because it tickles the inner monkey of a lot of people.
