I think it might be a good thing. Maybe autothrottles are in our future!

Sorry I took a vacation as my devices resisted logging in here.

I’m open to and encourage the sharing of new data.  I would normally expect damage repair required as in the above captioned 980 to be the result of an event.  Tornado, severe downdraft, severe turbulence, a combination thereof while flying out of trim or sitting on the ground, or even a Gulfstream or airliner powering up nearby. The problem is, as much as we appreciate these planes for all that they do, we don’t know what they’ve been through every minute in any case so a close look by people who know the planes seems worthwhile.

Winner aviation was bought and is now Jets FBO @ Youngstown Warren Airport.
I intend to post the full write up/receipt when completed.  Over 100K thus far.

Some photos of work being done.  Also it is no longer winner aviation:

Hey Don- Money for just picking up the phone, then more money to provide details on what was needed.  Once settled I can give more specifics, but basically the run around.
