Regarding the .world community: The mods were not actively tending the community. Reports were piling up and not being resolved. Messages were sent to the mods requesting them to reengage, but nothing changed. So the mods were removed while the .world team looks for possible replacements.
The mods at [email protected] also look like they have left Lemmy.
If anyone seriously feels like moderating a conservative community (without burning it to the ground for teh lulz) there are plenty of job openings.
I wouldn’t expect jets from other countries to be any different. Aircraft in general get a lot of inspection and maintenance. Military jets planes push the limits of what their materials and systems can handle, and it takes a toll.
Idk how credible the site below is, but they claim the F-16 averages 15 hours of inspections ad maintenance for every hour of flight time. Also that military jets are generally only mission-ready about 50%-75% of the time, which means they spend an awful lot of their useful lives in the inspection and maintenance queues:
