  1.  @leprechaunbutreallyjustamidget  Yep. If the records show that the N2 tacho generator on #1 engine on one aircraft has another 12 months left before it goes "out of life", then you can replace a tacho generator on another aircraft and know it's still good for another 12 months.

  2.  @andyrob3259  There are "flag of convenience" nations for ships. Years ago it was popular to register ships in Liberia and Panama because of tax and regulatory advantages. Accordingly; when the was an oil tanker wreck invariably it would be a "Liberian registered tanker" or "Panamanian registered tanker". Aircraft are no different in that respect.

  3. Good stories. BTW, the B-29 Superfortress was the WW2 aircraft copied by the USSR. The Stratofortress is the B-52 which entered service with the USAF in 1955.

  5. Nice question regarding remotely disabling aircraft - obviously asked by a MH370 conspiracy theorist.

  6. Seized Russian assets will probably be used to help pay for this. The West cannot allow their aircraft manufacturers to fail.
