Drinking too much red wine and then deliberately flying a flick roll can
also lead to empennage overstress and possible filure. This may also
have happened on Flight_447.


So does that rule out white wine as the cause? I hope so, as I have a
slight preference for whites over reds.

What if the pilot had the fish?
