If that's the best of your writing skills, don't quit your day job.

Can't find a record of a DC-3 losing a wing....perhaps this happened at
Basler when undergoing refit?

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

I bit too and it wasn't worth it. Not a good writer. But a good spammer.

Don't bother.

If you'd waded through "Tony Ryan"s horrible prose at his web site, you'd
find several mentions of Pickle Lake in Canada. Which would make it:

http://aviation-safety.net/database/1987/870511-1.htm

"The Canadian Aviation Safety Board determined that the left wing failed
under normal flight loads as a result of a fatigue crack in the centre
section lower wing skin. Anomalies in the radiographs taken during
mandatory non-destructive testing inspections were not correctly
interpreted."

As a pilot of a 57-year-old plane, I can confirm the second part of
Tony's above sentence! Since he "saw a DC-3 lose a wing in '87," he uses
that experience to draw a blanket conclusion about all old planes!

As Bugs Bunny would say: "What a maroon!"

I'd argue that nobody should be flying an aircraft more than a century
old. And I'd be willing to see that as a hard and fast rule for the next
4 or 5 years, at which point it should be repealed.

Just extend it every year for about a year, and we'll be fine (except for
poor DaVinci {8^).

I've been looking at planes recently, I looking to buy a stinson
perhaps, or aeronca sedan. (I want a Maule, but they're too pricy
for me I think.) Now, these planes date from the 1940's. But, every
discussion I've had with a prospective seller has gone something like
this: "Well, it was recovered in 1970 and the wing struts were
replaced. The engine cyclinders are new in 19xx", etc etc.

Most old airplanes are only partly old after all. The question is
which part. And even the old parts still work fine if they're in
spec. That's the point of inspection after all.

Reminds me of a story about an ad: "100 year old ax for sale. Handle
replaced 10 years ago, head replaced 20 years ago."

Naw. I'd rather be in a Beaver, a DC-3, or a 1903 flyer .... than
risk my neck on the same highway with a drunk, dope-smoking phone man
coming the opposite direction. :^D

talk about danger!
