I forget the tail number but I remember changing about 15 sets of nose wheels and barrings out for weeks on end with it... I honestly do not remember the solution...if the crews just ended up living with it or if it was finally fixed.

I am guessing that it is 5032 (ex N421M,N898QR,N3755P) Because she always seemed to carry the least markings. just a guess

So that is a true tail?

Was the rumor true about the J model that took off from Keesler, lost an engine and the \"brain\" pulled back power on the symmetrical so to not induce excessive yaw, the plane narowely missed a building? Heard this many times but did not know if it was one of the many \"hate the J\" stories or if it was in fact true.

Any word on these...did LockMart ever get back with you about posting them here???

The VA has been very good to me (A rarity?) The only thing they have not fixed were my teeth...and honestly, I am not sure I want them to touch them. Everything else I have had work done to has been top notch!
