That 3 times they have had burn through on the right front flap.

I guess it's not an issue as v2 flaps are in a different location but it's interesting to see that.

Yeah seems like an inherent design flaw of the current gen. They effectively put a bandaid on it with extra tiles etc. The new design is significantly different, a lot more swept back.
They can't afford any burn through at all for the model they intend to fly proper, I'm confident that the redesign will mitigate that issue. Looks cooler too!
 
Anyone on here use a decent free iSO satellite trackers?

I saw some, odd, things in the sky last night that didn't look likes planes....
Presuming they were satellites...

What time and date? If it was in the evening, 5-6pm it could have been the starlink satellite train from the recent launch?

Starlink passes for all objects from a launch
