Concow is an unincorporated community and census-designated place, until 2018 residential and small scale cultivation in the Sierra Nevada foothills covering eastern Butte County, United States. Due to a decline in employment and repeated wildfires, over the past hundred years the population declined from several thousand to several dozen people. On November 8, 2018, a wildfire, the Camp Fire, cleared most of Concow and destroyed the adjacent municipality of Paradise; the CDP is named after the Native American tribe, indigenous to the area, the Concow Maidu. The original inhabitants ate salmon from the Feather River and pine nuts, venison, nō-kōm-hē-i'-nē, other sources of food which abounded in the California foothills. "In the beginning Wahno-no-pem, the Great Spirit, made all things. Before he came, everything on the earth and in the skies was hidden in darkness and in gloom, but where he appeared he was the light. From his essence, out of his breath, he made the sun, the moon, the countless stars, pinned them in the blue vault of the heavens."

There is no indication that there was external governance of the Concow region or the tribal peoples that inhabited the region during the 1697–1821 Spanish colonization or the 1821–1846 Mexican era, characterized by the spread of Californio slave ranchos. The Concow region is 20 miles north of the city of Oroville and about the same distance east of the town of Chico. Rancho Arroyo Chico was established through a land-grant from the Mexican authorities in 1844, two years before California was invaded by United States forces, an indication that there was some Mexican governance near the Concow region, but no indication of governance of the region. Aside from governance, starting in 1828, northern trappers including Jedediah Smith, Michel Laframboise, John Work first made contact with the Concow region Maidu. In 1851 the Beckwourth Trail established the first transportation route to the Concow region; the route did not pass directly through the present day Concow, the trail followed a series of ridgetops 10 miles to the East.

Soon began death from diseases, such as pneumonia and malaria, from which the Maidu have no natural immunity. In addition to disease, in 1853, under the leadership of Gov. Bigler, several municipalities within the State of California ordered all non-European people of California - including the Maidu - exterminated in return for a $5.00 cash bounty for each verified male killed and a lesser cash bounty for a dead woman or child. In addition to the municipal bounty system, through funding numerous militia attacks on the native people, the resulting debt became known as the "California War Debt" or "Army Appropriations Bill". In 1854 - though not clear why - Secretary of War Jefferson Davis wrote California that their'war' expenditures could not be authorized without the original bills of sale to verify the purpose was one intended by congress; the bill of sale for the bounty was the head. California was reimbursed $924,259.65 by the United States Federal Government and again reimbursed $229,981.67 in 1861 for the intervening years.

Sometimes children could be sold for more than the per claim amount allowed. To maximize profits, during'hunts' they tried to only kill children that were not old enough to work; the older children were instead enslaved as provided by the Act of 1850 for the Government and Protection of Indians. Assuming the $1.2M the State of California claimed in expenses for the'War' was used for $5 bounties this represents the death of 240,000 California natives. Their fictionalized but true in spirit story is told by the real person Ishi, who may have been part or full Maidu. Ishi was from the Concow region. Permanent settlements soon followed and by 1856 several were well established; the growth of these settlements increased after Charles Curtis constructed a toll bridge across the Feather River at Nelson's Bar and the next year an additional bridge was constructed by residents of Whiskey Town over the Feather River just North of the Concow region. There was a Northernly trail and bridge from present day Oroville, a Southernly trail and bridge from present day Magalia.

After a decade of genocide and forcible removals, in 1859 the last of the Kon Kow peoples were forcibly removed by Tehama County ranchers as part of a larger four county'roundup'. They were held at the Mendocino Reservation until the California Reservation Administration at the camp collapsed due to lack of funding due to the Civil War occurring on the East Coast; the Kon Kow were deported to the Nome Cult Farms at the Round Valley reservation. By 1862 the last of the native Concow inhabitants were starving on the cramped Round Valley with unrelated people relocated from surrounding regions; the damp coastal climate on the reservation contrasts with the dry climate of the California'Gold Country' they are accustomed to. It was the midst of the North American Civil War and federal funds for California Reservations were no longer arriving. In the cooling weather of late September, on September 24, 1862, a combination of the poor camp conditions, forced participation in a massacre of the local Wailaki peoples, warnings by local whites that they were planning to massacre the reservation inhabitants that winter, an imminent winter disaster under the supervision of indian agent James Short forced a group of over 400 men, women and elderly to set out with Tome-ya-nem, without provisions, for the 130 miles back t

Unapproved aircraft parts are aircraft parts not approved by national aviation authorities for installation on type certified aircraft. For example, the Federal Aviation Administration defines a "standard part" as a part produced in accordance with government regulations, it defines an "approved part" as a "standard part", in accordance with a specific set of criteria and specifications; the FAA standards for approved parts are in FAR 21.305. In the United States parts may be approved through a Parts Manufacturer Approval, with type certification procedures through approval from the agency's approval, through Technical Standard Orders, from conforming to recognized specifications from the aviation industry. Parts manufactured without an aviation authority's approval are described as "unapproved"; the parts are more profitable to sell than approved parts. Unapproved parts have been found on both civilian and military aircraft, faulty ones have caused hundreds of incidents and crashes, some fatal, with about 24 crashes between 2010 and 2016.

Most industries are plagued by counterfeit and bogus parts of inferior quality, but the potential consequences of failure are far less serious. "Counterfeit parts" are those not made by the manufacturer. They are made of inferior materials by inadequate processes and not tested, designed only to bear a close resemblance to genuine parts; the term "bogus parts" can loosely refer to various categories of unapproved parts. "Life-limited" and "time-expired" parts are legitimate parts that have been used beyond their design lifespan. Some parts which are life-limited or of unknown condition are taken from scrapyards, illegally installed on aircraft. A used part may be salvaged, but supporting information must be supplied; some unapproved parts come from genuine manufacturers' production lines. Boeing has stated that electronic parts and materials have been counterfeited. Physical parts include bolts and rivets. Electronic parts include resistors and integrated circuits. Materials include composite chemicals and titanium.

In 1996 unapproved parts were found to originate from sources such as counterfeiters, thieves, "strip and dip" operations which hide defects with metal plating, from production overruns. The crash of Partnair Flight 394 in 1989 resulted from the installation of counterfeit aircraft parts. Counterfeit bolts, attaching the vertical stabilizer of a Convair CV-580 to the fuselage, wore down excessively, allowing the tail to vibrate to the extent that it broke off. In 1990, US President George H. W. Bush appointed Mary Schiavo as the Inspector General of the U. S. Department of Transportation. Schiavo led subsequent investigations. By 1996, the investigations resulted in hundreds of criminal convictions, fines totalling about US$47 million, prison sentences of up to five years. In August 1993 a group of criminals stole a cockpit computer from a Carnival Airlines aircraft at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. During the day the criminals contacted "potential buyers" at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City.

The "buyers" were Federal Bureau of Investigation agents performing "Operation Skycrook," a sting operation to deter thieves of commercial aircraft parts. In 1995, after the crash of American Airlines Flight 965, scavengers took cockpit avionics, engine thrust reversers, other parts from the crash site by helicopter. Many of the stolen parts appeared for sale in the Greater Miami area. In response, American Airlines published a 14-page list of the parts missing from the crashed aircraft, including the serial numbers. An FAA study concluded that, from May 1973 to April 1996, unapproved parts contributed to 174 aircraft accidents and minor incidents, causing 39 injuries and 17 fatalities. None of the accidents and incidents in the study involved major commercial airlines; some critics, including William Cohen, a member of the U. S. Senate from Maine, argued that the FAA may have understated the role of unapproved parts of some accidents because the agency did not want to take the responsibility of regulating the aircraft parts industry.

James Frisbee, who retired in 1992 as the quality control head of Northwest Airlines, argued that unapproved parts may have been a factor in far more accidents than the numbers stated on U. S. federal accident and incident records. The United States Congress passed the Aircraft Safety Act of 2000, allowing the government to target the sale and use of unapproved parts. Around 2003, the U. S. state of Florida was an international center for the vending of unapproved aircraft parts. Old and faulty parts scavenged from scrapped aircraft were sold illegally as new parts in Italy from the late 1990s and were reported in 2002 to be linked to up to ten air crashes. Unapproved parts are considered to have played a rôle in about 24 crashes that killed seven people and injured 18 between 2010 and 2016.
