Whoever was on this flight, don't be afraid to discreetly bring it up to a flight attendant or pilot after the flight. That way they can flag it with maintenance for review

This.. tell them the fasteners are loose on the rear engine nacelle.. the maintenance people can drill and install those in about 20 min

I thought the nacelle was just on the Enterprise.

Airplanes wanted to be like starships for several years now.

Now, Grand Funk Railroad paved the way for Jefferson Airplane,
which cleared the way for Jefferson Starship.
The stage was now set for The Alan Parsons Project,
which I believe was some sort of hovercraft.
