The day a single loose coax connector grounded a whole fleet
We had three planes down with weird comms issues last Tuesday, all traced back to a batch of BNC connectors from the same supplier that weren't crimped right. Spent eight hours chasing ghosts before we found the common link. Anyone else get burned by a bad parts shipment recently?

Oh man, that's brutal. Classic case of the problem being the last thing you check. At least you found the common thread. I bet that supplier got a very loud phone call.

Yikes, that's a supply chain nightmare hiding in plain sight. Makes you wonder if their whole quality check process is just one guy eyeballing things. Did management try to push back on replacing all the connectors at once?
