WOW! We appreciate the work you put into checking EVERYTHING and restoring THE 736NG to flying conditions.
Yesterday I posted me working in a B737NG flight deck doing a B check. Since there was interest in that today I will show you another aircraft here in for a “Heavy” C check. This is what the inside of a B737NG looks like when it is stripped clean for a heavy inspection. The flight deck is stripped clean including the windows, in the passenger compartment everything is removed including all the lavatories , galleys (we call them monuments), seats, floors, windows and even all of the cabin doors are removed for overhaul. Every square inch of the pressurized area of the aircraft is inspected for corrosion, damage or cracks.

Well, that’s a new one.
A passenger discovered a rat moving in the cabin ceiling of a Jet Blue aircraft mid-air recently, and it's a concern. What could go wrong ? A rat inside a plane is considered a major aviation safety and bio-security hazard. Because rodents can chew through critical electrical wiring and control cables, airlines immediately ground, decontaminate, and inspect aircraft the moment a stowaway rodent is spotted. Rats could be carriers of diseases and parasites that pose a severe health risk to passengers and crew in a confined, recycled-air environment. 🎥 brittneynicole291 via instagram.com/reel/DZfs_CGJb… #aviation #safety

That is a normal departure out of SJC airport.
A Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 (N8879Q), Flight SWA3698, buzzed the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium at 2,000 feet while en route from San Jose Airport to San Diego Airport during Qatar vs. Switzerland World Cup match, 27 minutes into the game.

I didn’t know we had unmanned rescue vehicles. 🤷‍♂️
Two US aviators went down near the Strait of Hormuz. DoW used an autonomous @Saronic Corsair to find and bring them home - the 1st drone rescue at sea in military history. This is why we build: to keep our troops safe. This was science fiction. American builders made it real 🇺🇸.

Me contemplating some of the things I see at airports. 😳
In a Japanese zoo, famous male gorilla Kiyomasa was filmed sinking into deep thought after a quarrel with his partner.

Things got a little testy at Chicago today. I think Brickyard was correct in this situation. I use "Blocked" occasionally, it is meant as a courtesy to tell ATC their transmission was unreadable due to multiple transmissions at once and needs to be repeated. If pilots used her technique, multiple people would be stating their call signs and stating "Please repeat"……..causing more "Blocked" transmissions. 🤣🤷‍♂️ . . Seen on @theatcapp

Great explanation.
Here's some real footage on the job showing exactly what we're talking about on a 787 nose gear. Watch how the downlock pin goes in the right spot, and check that plugged hole next to it from the AD.. Boeing had already flagged this and issued a Service Bulletin to install a plug/cover in the wrong hole. FAA made it mandatory with AD 2019-23-07. Newer jets like the Lufthansa one should have had that plug from the factory. Not sure exactly how the pin ended up in the wrong place or if it wasn't Installed/seated right during the gear cycle check...
