The trucker starts everyday by checking the tires and brakes, as

Same thing with A/C. I'm always amazed at the ones who discover that
a tire is completely flat - AFTER they back out of the driveway!

Re: Engine Swaps vs Smog Laws
 

I wonder if the pilots of a 747 still walk around their plane. I
think I remember actor Dean Martin's character doing that, although I
guess that was forty years ago.

Re: Engine Swaps vs Smog Laws
 

You bet they do, or at least the co-pilot does if the pilot asks him
to... but the PIC (pilot-in-command) is supposed to do his own preflight
because it's his ass if something goes wrong that could have been
spotted with a preflight. I know as a pilot that I would never fly an
aircraft without having personally first preflighted it.
