Default USN grounds 39 P-3s over faulty wings

The Navy on Monday grounded 39 P-3 Orion anti-submarine patrol planes -
nearly one in four of its inventory - because of concerns that a structural
defect could cause either of the aircraft's wings to break off in flight.


yep daar hadden die oude L-188's in de jaren 60 ook al last van.
haarscheurtjes in de vleugels.
toen ontstond danook het grapje dat de oplossing zou bestaan uit het
boren van een reeks gaatjes in de haarscheuren.
De diepere filosofie was dat pleepapier ook nooit scheurde bij de
gaatjes.

Cheers, Pieter
