Got to say. I've met a few people over the years with engineering degrees that have absolutely no business touching anything mechanical. Just thought I'd toss that out there.  |

the air flow while falling helps boost the engine cooling?

Stopped and looked at a Bay that was sitting for sale on the side of the road years ago that had no cooling tins installed. The people in the house told me in no uncertain terms that it had no problems with over heating. 
The van also had weird wrinkles in the body that made it look like it might have been dropped from 15' in height or so. The seller didn't acknowledge any problems there either.
Next time I drove by it was gone and I have wondered how the unwitting buyer made out with his find. |
I once climbed aboard a 737 that looked like that - panels in the lower fuselage had all seen some hard landing . .
Wonder about some of the wrinkles maybe being from a fire or else they saw that Pamper Bus Shasta Snow Run video and decided to jump their bus ..

Maybe he looked at too many VW powered aircraft and thought that was what he had.
