Will the owner of a blue 737 please contact the front desk? You left your headlights on...

I do not think your auto insurance would cover damage to a multi-million dollar plane.

Boeing has been a great company for many years. I hope they learn their lesson.

Boeing is a loyal Democrat liberal company. They have suffered nothing and will never learn anything.

It sure would. Right up to your $75,000 limit per car accident. Which on a new 737 is the smallest ding imaginable.

Can I park under a wing? Having shade in the summer is definitely welcomed.

Also they’re uber-liberal as far as their policies go; very PC.

What’s worse is that Boeing is probably hiring more defense attorneys than engineers these days. Can’t imagine the number of domestic and international hearings, criminal and civil complaints related to this fiasco.

I think I see the problem.

The starboard wing tippy-tip is pointed
down, not upward like the port wing. It
makes the plane fly like a horizontal
cork screw.

they’re called scimitar wingtips.

Look carefully … the wingtip device has both an up and a down segment. Some Airbus A320 models use a similar device.

I’ve never seen a winglet down before.
Maybe it’s to keep from bumping into
parked cars. ;)

I will, if you’ll develop
a sense of humor.

The top one is to break up wingtip vortices.

The bottom one is a curb-feeler.
