SNIP That's the trouble with metal. It corrodes. It would have been far better to make the aircraft out of composite materials, otherwise known as "plastic". Really? B-52's flew for 50 years. Metal. F-4s, metal decades of use, F-16s, F-14s, F-15s, F-18s, C5s, etc, etc. All of these aircraft have ongoing corrosion problems. Perhaps you should have phrased that, "All aircraft have ongoing corrosion problems." Here is a little FAA brochure; http://www.tc.faa.gov/its/cmd/visitors/data/AAR-430/aainsp.pdf They get suspicious when this type of thing happens; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bDNCac2N1o&feature=related I suspect someone should have become suspicious before this happened. Regards, Some could have been paid not to be. -- Peter |
