MAX’s Return Delayed by FAA Reevaluation of 737 Safety Procedures

[gums]

Salute!

Thanks, Murphy, I just reverted to my old days. No offense to Hector. He say "toe-may-toe", I say "toe-mah-toe".

My first exposure to "manual electric trim" was when I had a backseat joyride in a T-33 in 1960. Up til then I had to crank a wheel for elevator trim and had no aileron trim gizmo. Hell, I learned on WW2 observation planes as a youngster in the late 50's. That T-33 "coolie hat" trim switch on top of the stick was a neat thing. A few years later my T-37 IP told me I wouldn't graduate high enuf to get a fighter unless I had a hole in my glove's thumb from trimming all the time. I never lost that habit, even in the Viper 20 years later when you only trimmed gee unless gear was down.

Gums sends....
