because I like the mystery of turbines...not quite random:

turbines are incredibly simple engines, very little mystery there. A piston engine is by far the more complicated beast!

But a piston isn't nearly as thirsty.

I get it but the way air is continuously compressed, fueled, ignited then harnessed and expelled without interruption is remarkable to me...too cool to be true amazement even with the fuel inefficiency.

My dad was an instructor in the navy, after he retired the people he went to work for would just listen to him like little kids with their mouths open, he could take the most complicated ideas and make them so anyone could understand. To say the least my science projects in school were impressive .

A little bird dropped out of the sky and onto the beach in So Cal - I hope it chopped up a few gulls!

I'm going to go out on a limb here with the forced landing on a beach, the discoloration and guys building a berm with sand and guess: oil leak.
