And yet AFBs and Navy ships do indeed have machine shops.
Some minimal, some quite impressively extensive.

Why do you suppoxs they said that this was repair of the last resort? You cannot build a part without the specifications of that part - the size, shape and material down to fine detail. Liebermann shows this bullshit because he himself knows nothing abot it. Turning a plug on a lathe is not technologically advanced repair.

 

Well Tommy, with a standard lathe as found in nearly every A.F.machine
shop was possible to work to tolerances of 1/10th of 1/000of an inch
tolerance. That ISSN technological?

 But since Liebermann doesn't know anything aboujt it. He can present
his highly intelligent view of things that he knows nothing about. His
entire career in a nutshell.

 
I suppose that proof of your argument is that all the USAF
aircraft have fallen from the skies. I may have missed that.

Could it be just as I said, that the Air Force DOES NOT MACHINE

 PARTS THEMSELVES. They replace with new. Why are you insisting that
the Air Force has and commonly uses machine shops> Let's say that you
have a B50 - these were never used enough to wear anything out but
suppose that the engine needed rebuilding? A technician COULD remove
the radisal cylinders and a machine shop COULD bore the cyclingers
out. But what do they do then? It would require brand new pistons and
rings. These could NOT be produced in a machine shop outside of the
factory because the lower parts of the piston are not round. For that
matter the piston pona are extremely criticzal in an engine that
developes 2400 horsepower.

The R-4360, a 28 cylinder 4 bank supercharged and turbo charged engine
put out as much as 4,300 HP in one version.
But your ignorance is showing. Aircraft engines weren't repaired in
the Machine shop :-) They were repaired in the Engine shop.

The reason that you are not seeing Air Force planes dropping out

of the air is because of the lie that they are being repaired in
machine shops. Please stop that as if it were sensible.
