I suspect these figures are in reality *very* conservative, as no one
I've ever talked to has heard of a -3 falling out of the sky due to load
induced structural failure.


During the Berlin Airlift, a C-47 took off with a full load of
X sheets of Perforated Aluminum Planking, for extending the destination
runway.

Turned out it was X sheets, but Perforated STEEL Planking....
and it still flew..
