Flight safety: thats too logical for the Italian's.
As long as the finished product looks good, thats all that counts
Cars, women, houses...............

Whats going on inside is a completely different matter.

Name me ONE reliable italian car?

Restored houses in Italy that are the equivalent to our grade I's and II's have to comply with very strict cosmetic regs, but you can do what the hell you like inside them..Char white pine woodwork to make it look old, use breezeblock cladding, plastic internal doors etc etc...they dont care because you can't see it.

Let's not even discuss Italian women! I'm married to one!

dare I say the same with helos...
The 109 looks the biz, but it leaks like a sieve. The cabin area is an ergonomic nightmare...and now it seems critical components aren't even labelled correctly

What's new........
