>The aircraft, registered as VT-EHH, was a Boeing 737-2A8F from the Baby Boeing family. Delivered to Indian Airlines in 1982, it later operated with Alliance Air before Air India converted it into a freighter in 2007. >It flew with India Post titles but was grounded at Kolkata Airport in 2012. Instead of being sold, scrapped, or parted out, the jet sat idle in a remote corner of the airfield and disappeared from the airline's fixed-asset documentation. >Kolkata Airport officials eventually contacted Air India to request the removal of the abandoned jet. >This prompted a detailed internal check that confirmed the aircraft had been omitted from multiple documents for years. >Air India CEO Campbell Wilson informed staff that, in the years leading up to privatization, VT-EHH was repeatedly left out of internal records. >As a result, the aircraft did not factor into the valuation during the Tata Group acquisition. Before privatization, the carrier did not maintain the kind of structured fixed-asset registers that well-run airlines use to track depreciation, parking charges, insurance liability, and maintenance cycles. https://archive.ph/cYDOd
Would anyone ever want to buy these books? It's a bunch of shit from wild swan. They cover how to paint a model locomotive, how to assemble locomotive kits, and scratchbuilding locomotives. Its all british steam locomotives mind you. It's a mix of currently in print and long out of print books. I don't want them anymore.
I think the states whose population don't care about public transit (Dallas, Houston, etc) should get stripped of their federal transit funding and be rerouted to fund the existing transit/infrastructure in Chicago, New York, Boston, Philly or DC.
Recently bought a used KTM Duke and am quite satisfied with it. Started researching about the company and noticed it's another failure of unsolvent european dying manufacturing sector. Pajeets are buying out the entire company with a 51% reacue package right now.
Why did it have to end like this? The bikes are so nice
What are some techniques to control car drivers inside cities in order to make thigns safer for cyclists and pedestrians?
Heres a few I know >wide roads make drivers want to go faster: IE if you make a road have space for 150% of the width of a car they will go faster than if its just 110% >tighter roads make drivers wanna go slower >obstacles placed on a road to force cars to slow down and turn in a straight road help too what else? i love all the measures that don't involve speed bumps. I think its better to make the driver FEEL like he has to go slow, rather than making him feel like hes being forced or nagged to go slow
If buildings in Venice are crumbling at the foundation because of the waves from speed boats, why don't they build deep metro below the lagoon to move people and goods within Venice and to and from the mainland and completely ban boats?
