Dear Australia,

Please make us look like humans.

Australia could act like a sovereign nation and do the right thing in the face of American interests but would you put money on it?

Didn't work out so well for us last time.

Hate to be a party pooper but the only approved vendor doesn't mean Israel couldn't cobble something together.

Any inconvenience helps

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, what would happen is another vendor being approved elsewhere, meaning it was pointless and they lost business.

Ending any relationship with Israel is not pointless.

Why does a landing gear component need to be replaced based on flight time? Shouldn't it be based on number of take-offs and landings?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Maybe it’s just easiest to build replacement into the maintenance schedule based on flight hours even though landing is the actual wear and tear

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Because military contracts. Thats why.

At the end of the day, there's a limit on flight hours before a plane must be landed.

It would be good to know what point you're trying to make.

[–] Jumuta 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

the US will stop whatever Australia does in this regard and will punish us for it

Do you think we should end any and all relationships with Israel?

While presumably not as disposable cursory research shows the the horizontal tail assembly is provided exclusively by Canada and UK.
