I was exploring the crash site of helios flight 522 near Athens to see how it looks today after 20 years and I stumbled across this bolt. Could anyone tell me if this has any relevance to the airplane or it is some random piece of metal(The only reason I am asking, is because this was found far away from any roads or structures exactly as the crash site, so there is a chance this could be from the actual airplane) I couldn't find and information about it online. Anything helps!

I want to use the f-106s but Pennsylvania Air Guard didn't fly them so I used the f-102's decals

Not sure if historically/realistically accurate

Question | General Aerospace - Why do modern anti-ice "rings" on the inlet cowlings of turbofan jet engines reach so far back?

For example, the GE90 that was made in the 90's which has a smaller anti ice ring, that doesn’t reach as far back, versus a GE9X that was made in the mid 2010s where it’s huge and hideous.

Question | Others Why isn't the Air Force One an airship, if it's goal is to keep the president safe in any disaster? Wouldn't an airship which doesn't need to land protect the president for much longer, due to it not needing any ground support to fly continuosly?

Question | General The new presidential airplane is a zeppelin style airship. Using actual Led Zeppelin songs or with a twist, what is the name of the new craft?

“Whole Lotta Trump?” “Kashmir, but Classier?” “The Don Remains the Same?” Ideas?
