Curious little panel



I managed to take a photo of this curious panel that is situated in the foreward section of the fuselage. I always wondered what this thing is for. Seems like it controls lights and background music among other things.

Big Engine Big Pilot



It's a nice big pilot being backdropped by a big engine. I sat on that blue-color-themed A320 that day. I assume that is the nice large man in charge of the flight. Judging by his bigness.



Incidentally, the pilot that came out before the big pilot went in was small kechik. I was wondering why he was so kechik until I realised that it was a woman pilot. That's something I don't notice everyday. Salutations!

That felt really smooth. Even from this perspective. <3

Duct Tape on Critical-Looking Engine mounting



On an AirAsia B737 one day, I saw this duct-tape looking thing on a part on the engine mounting which seems to be a cover of some sort.

At first glance it looked pretty hillarious and yet worrying at the same time.

The Flydamnit crew cleared the misconception up pretty quickly.

not a good practice.but its not for engine mounting,just to hold the panel there.

It is called hi speed tape. Always used on airplane. Suitable for varying temperature,pressure,density and speed. It is as thick as an aluminium can.

Good to know it's not as frail as once thought.
