At the same time, King Air wings were falling off at an alarming rate
and Beech and the FAA did virtually NOTHING to solve that as well. It
took a private company to produce a wing strap for the KA to finally
embarrass Beech into fixing the King Air.


KingAir wings falling off - at an "alarming rate"?
Why am I skeptical about this? Could it be because a database search of
the NTSB from 1962 to present, using several different keyword
combinations produced 0 records of such incidents? Or the Google search,
showing C-130's wings falling off, but not KingAirs?

Can you point us to evidence sufficient to warrant the insinuation that
grounding the entire fleet of KingAirs would have been an appropriate
move?
