When I first starting fllying for a living (decades ago) one of the aereoplanes we flew was a new 260hp cherokee six that had flown the pacific on its delivery flight.
At about 200hours total time it made a forced landing out bush, with a broken camshaft. I guess it flew the pacific with a faulty camshaft. Who knows?
Yeah! I know of a Mooney that came across the puddle last year that required quite a bit of work before its maintenance release was issued here.
