Yup, that happened here in Dallas. That was the first certified aircraft
to pop the BRS chute in a real emergency.

Monarch performed service bulletin work on the aileron trim tab before the
flight. Shortly after take off the left aileron damn near fell off.

Not exactly relevant when talking about a history of aileron failures but
the lawyers will probably try to use it anyway.

Pretty interesting story:
