Is this what consolidated maintenance is getting us?

Not.

Remotely.

Seems like a premature and unfounded if not absurd conclusion. What do you base it on?

"Sarah Chantal Rovner was piloting a Civil Air Patrol-owned Cessna 172 jet from West Houston Airport to Lone Star Executive Airport in nearby Conroe, Texas, on Tuesday when she reported losing aircraft power."

You think their jet had a propeller stuck in it too? Great job btw.

RogueLeader · January 09, 2013, 05:54:58 PM

Sure looks like a prop to me.

Luis R. Ramos · January 09, 2013, 06:07:58 PM

Rogue-

That is the special variant X-70.

It has a hidden jet engine.

She lost power as both engines failed.

Flyer

That gave me an abnormally high ping on my BS meter.

Both Steve Atkins and Don Poe are longtime CAP members from the UP group. I haven't seen Steve in many years, but I recall him to be a rather capable aviator.

Do we have a policy on Civil Air Patrol members talking to the press directly about incidents like this?

Don't forget: this is the UP of Michigan. Steve is probably related to the reporter.

Besides, that article had more typos and grammatical errors than your average Armstrong essay.

Wing CC sent an email out after this, joking that we should expect a "The importance of a functioning carburetor float" breakout session from these two at Wing Conference this year.

"Runways? We don't need no runways!"

Glad these guys landed safely with no injuries. Aside from the engine failure, the bird is fine with no other damage.

Sarah, great job. I have to ask though, was that N54872 that you were flying?
