Re: [MBZ] windows 10 upgrade on PC

I have no idea. I have a 2 tb SSD which I just installed not long ago and everything was running great. It was installing and I left it along then came back later and it was restarting in windows 7. Just said installation failed and rolled back the changes. Previous to this I checked the propert

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

It was a mocked up "hybrid" -- and you are right, sure looks like a DC-7 or DC-6 fuselage with jet wings and screwy rear engine setup. Deliberately NOT anything recognizable as a production aircraft to avoid the implication that some commercial aircraft wasn't safe. And not flyable, with engine

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

Wife was watching a movie this morning, “Fate is the Hunter” with Glenn Ford. It’s about an airline crash that is being investigated and Ford is an exec of the airline that owned the plane. What was weird was the plane - it appeared to be some sort of mocked up version of a DC-7. The engine pla

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

It's amazing how long some of those old birds keep working -- someone hauling freight crashed a Convair 240 last fall in northern Illinois I think, built in 1951 or so and still running piston engines! The DC-10 wasn't the worlds best designed or most advanced aircraft for it's time, but like a

Re: [MBZ] What do you guys think of this weld?

The solid flanges that slide on the pipe holding the flared pipe ends together rusted away. The pipes themselves were in tact because they are stainless. This joint which was designed to be undone is now welded together with a short length of pipe slid onto and into the respective original exhau

Re: [MBZ] What do you guys think of this weld?

That is my question too. If the original system had a joint that could be undone with hand tools, why is that no longer the case? Was there a leak / rust at the joint? - Max Charleston SC On Sat, Jan 4, 2020 at 12:04 AM Curley McLain via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > a

Re: [MBZ] ChowdaQ 2020?

Lately I've found that Google Flights is the best search engine, but sometimes it is not so easy to translate a flight you find into a ticket, as you have to use a different website to find that ticket at that price so you can buy it. - Max Charleston SC

[MBZ] windows 10 upgrade on PC

Kaleb, Much like problem determination on a car, you need to provide more than "it failed for some reason". Was it hardware, too little disk space, bad Win7 product id, etc. You have until Jan. 14 to upgrade using the free upgrade with a valid Win7 product ID. Best Wishes, Roger Roger Hale Din

Re: [MBZ] Aircraft nerding out

I’ve done the same on occasion. That and look up 899T (Dad’s V35 Bonanza) to see where it’s at. I’ll also plug them into Flight Radar and see where they’ve been lately, too. https://www.flightradar24.com/27.94,-82.24/8 Interesting. I’m surprised at the number of red eyes I see. I thoguht the a
