Well unless it is an old MIG it better drop it. Was it what, 3 years ago they had MIGs that could fly without the computer ?

I have seen the effects of a near lightning strike.

Planes get hit by lightnings on nearly daily base. The lightning might
hit one wing and then continue to ground from opposite wing. Not a big
deal for older aluminum planes, those plastic (composite) planes need
some extra precaution.

Was this a mains powered device or did it have long speaker wires ?

>I changed the coil driver, no good. Then I put in like a 2SD401, still no good. I shorted it and st=ill no good. But the ohmmeter said it was fine, well enough. It was the relay itself. The cassette deck had a relay to switch heads when playing in reverse, the symptom was that when switched to side two it would continue to play side one in reverse. Also the relay. Nothing else bad though I highly suspected it since I had little experience with that type of shit.

That all depends on which manufacturer has the most airplanes flying in and out of China at the moment


My nomination for worst headline so far this year:

"China-U.S. Air Traffic Is In Free-Fall"


Standard press headline amphibology, it's nothing new.
If it got your attention it worked.

To be sure.

I just scanned past it on an aggregator - didn't actually read it.
