@sickburnbro I'm sure this will be water cooler talk tomorrow but I fully expect that we'll see some interesting shit in the parts chain on this one

ICR if I mentioned it on poast but there was a venezuelan that started a biz selling aircraft parts, faked paperwork pretending the stuff was new and built to spec when it was chinese shit or scavenged from junk birds around the globe. FInally got caught out by eagle eyed boomers seeing very worn out "new" landing gear on a piper matrix or something.

His company pumped out a good number of parts throughout the ecosystem, and to my knowledge we've never been briefed on what exactly we need to look for. Threadbare scrimp n' save operators can find all sorts of ways to save money, and I'm guessing this guy's failure - if it wasn't simple fuel starvation since I'd guess someone would have told me about it by now, but it's the most likely if it hasn't been ruled out - was caused by some very sub-par maintenance somewhere in his system
