These Flying Tigers?

Ha, no, the air cargo outfit, but the company was named after those guys. In fact, I think the first pilots were all ex-FT veterans and maybe even had a stake in the company.

I just noticed the air cargo business in @FusedLogic's sig line.

Crazy. Makes no sense unless they have a new version on the way, although unlikely. Someone with decent 3D printer should try to mock one up.

This motivated me to pull mine off and give it a little TLC. Gave it a detoxifying rubdown, applied a few soothing coats of 303 Aerospace Protectant and replaced it with care.

Yes, very long time air cargo experience but all in software and not in the actual operation. I work with airlines and ground handlers. It's a fascinating and amazing business.

I have not kept up with 3D printers, but back when they first started to become popular, a printer that could print that big a piece was a big investment.

Both cargo and passenger, scheduled and non-sched's, always interesting. Kind of of the definition of a capital intensive business.

I wonder what all of the above looks like in 10 years, if the collapse that is predicted in globalization, actually comes to pass.

Looks like stock may already be depleted.

I just opened my hood and my engine cover sitting there like...

alright, who's gonna be the first person on here to take their engine cover, make a plaster mold of it, and start popping out spray foam versions?

Now that I am retired, I would like to get a job in the airline industry

Damn you guys, now that I read they’re discontinued I had to search for one up here in Canada. I found one and now I’m 130.00 Canadian poorer after shipping costs, but Ive got a engine cover on the way.
I’ve been on the fence about this since I bought the truck but now that I see they’re discontinued it forced my hand a bit.

If someone develops and aftermarket one, please make a carbon fiber version.

OEMFord.Parts - Engine Cover - Ford (L1MZ-6A949-A)

Ford White Bear Lake - Engine Cover - Ford (L1MZ-6A949-A) reported to be all gone.

Walmart - Engine Cover - Ford (L1MZ-6A949-A)

In stock for now. And I think a couple of these (not Walmart, are drawing from the same source)

Just purchased the last cover available (with the hardware) from an ebay seller who obtained it from a Ford Dealer in Cookeville, TN. Several sellers said that Ford had just put out a notice that they were going to discontinue producing these covers.
