Just a guess here but having flown the said airplane personaly. I think that driving a 700,000 pound machine threw the dirt at over one hundred miles an hour would do the trick! I know the crew on this one. Outstanding aviators. Only a true freight dog knows how to crash an airplane without catching on fire. A little tape and paint and they will fly her back to Oscoda. LOL!

My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

Looks the spot price for bulk aluminum is going to dip on Tuesday.

If that was a Pinnacle aircraft they would send a roll of speed tape and a reserve crew to ferry it back...

I bet they can ferry that badboy back to Oscoda by Wednesday.



I remember when the one that lost (literally) the engine diverted into DTW. We were taxiing out and saw her come in...both of us kept on looking at the plane going "something...something doesn't look quite right. OHH THAT!!!"
